Cheers to 25 Years

Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park will celebrate its 25th Anniversary in 2020 with special activities, events and displays throughout the year. Look for more information in the next three editions of Seasons magazine, on Facebook, in member e-blasts and through the mail. We hope you will join with us as we celebrate this milestone.

One of the ways in which you can support our mission to promote the enjoyment, understanding and appreciation of gardens, sculpture, the natural environment and the arts is with a contribution to Meijer Gardens’ 2020 Annual Fund campaign. Annual Fund gifts are unrestricted, meaning Meijer Gardens will steward these gifts to areas needed most to advance our mission.

For those of you who have supported the Corporate or Individual Annual Fund campaigns in the past, we send our gratitude and encourage you to renew your support. For those who have yet to participate, we hope you will accept our invitation to do so in this landmark year.

Why should your company donate to the Annual Fund? Why should you donate if you have already purchased a membership? There is no one better to answer those questions than these two donors who made their very first Annual Fund gift in 2019.

Meijer Gardens is a top-notch, non-profit organization and I believe in what they stand for—bringing horticulture and sculpture together for the pleasure of visitors right here in Grand Rapids and from around the world. As a company, we want to give back, but we also want to become part of something bigger than ourselves. We are proud to support such a wonderful mission.

My two kids think I work in a magical place. We come and play in the Lena Meijer Children’s Garden on my days off, and I came and walked The Richard & Helen DeVos Japanese Garden with my baby on my maternity leave. My family gets a lot of joy out of exploring this place. I get a lot of joy in my job out of seeing other people learn about art and nature while they’re here. It made sense to donate—I want to see it continue to grow.
