#GivingTuesday is an opportunity for you to help improve your community by supporting local organizations and we hope that Cathedral Square Friends, Inc. will be on your list.

Thanks to our many supporters, Cathedral Square looks better than at any time in recent memory.

In 2018, through our Color the Square initiative, we hung flower baskets from eight poles in the square. Each pole was decorated with two baskets that throughout the summer were overflowing with colorful flowers and plants.

Every year since 2018, we have brought the hanging flower baskets back to the Square, with some years having as many as thirty baskets.

This sponsor-funded project delights visitors to the Square every year.

Recently, major changes to the perimeter of the Square were completed. These changes include a beautiful new sidewalk extending from the edges of the park to the curbs. New trees, benches, bike racks, flower beds, garbage cans and other enhancements were also added to the Square.

To augment these wonderful changes, we are continuing our Color the Square initiative. With your help we can once again bring these colorful flowers to the Square and maintain these new improvements.

On this #GivingTuesday, will you make a small donation to support our efforts?
