2022 BLOCK PARTY WRAP-UP
 

As the 2022 Block Party Co-chairs, we would like to express our gratitude to those of you who contributed to the 2022 Block Party on June 25. 
 

Our goal every year is to keep the Block Party a fun and free event for all GH neighbors. This year, we had a record number of financial sponsorships which allowed us to offset our operating costs which totaled around $2,100. When the BP pays for itself through sponsorships, we can reserve our neighborhood funds for other purposes throughout the year, such as the Historic Pasadena Bus Tour, Ms. Dixon’s 100th Birthday Party, and emergency backpacks. Thank you so much to those who generously sponsored the food, contests, booths, and operating costs of the 2022 BP!  
 

We also want to thank those who donated power, water, brute strength, baked goods, raffle items, grills, atomic dogs, smiles, and neighborly good will! 

 

A BIG THANKS to everyone who attended the 2022 Block Party and to all those who posted a yard sign in their yard.

Please join us in thanking the following neighbors, organizations, and city departments who made it possible for us to continue this very special community tradition. We apologize to anyone who was inadvertently left off the list below.
