LAGRANGE – The fundraising campaign for a new splash pad and inclusive playground at Lagrange Town Park is off to a good start but still has a ways to go.

After the first week the effort has raised nearly $20-thousand dollars towards a goal of $50-thousand.

It’s important that the goal is reached because it will qualify the project for a matching contribution of $50-thousand dollars from the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority.

You can make an online contribution by going to the town’s Facebook page and using the link to the Patronicity.com site.

You can also drop off checks at Lagrange Town Hall during regular business hours. Checks should be made payable to LaGrange Town Park.
