Please join Olmsted Parks Conservancy at our largest fundraiser of the year. This annual event raises much needed funds to support restoration efforts in all the Frederick Law Olmsted Parks and Parkways.

This year we will be honoring Mr. William E. “Bill” Juckett, Chairman of our Board of Trustees, with the 2011 Frederick Law Olmsted Award for Distinguished Leadership. Bill has served on the Conservancy’s Board of Trustees for the past 14 years, as the Chairman of the Board since 2002, and as volunteer CEO for the organization from 2002 – 2007. He has personally raised over $10 million for the Olmsted Park System! We are so pleased to recognize him with this well-deserved award!
