July 16, 2024 – Florence Copper is pleased to announce a donation of $50,000 to the Town of Florence to support the enhancement of the playgrounds at Heritage Park in Florence, Arizona. This donation will increase the overall project budget from $250,000 to $300,000 and is focused on supporting the inclusion of playground accessibility features for local youth with disabilities and special needs.
The donation comes as part of Florence Copper’s ongoing commitment to supporting and investing in the local community, with the project already committing $20,000 to the Town of Florence in 2024 to support local community events like the Fourth of July Freedom Fest. The planned upgrades to Heritage Park’s playgrounds will create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all children and families in Florence.
“We are thrilled to support the Town of Florence in this important initiative,” said John Mays, General Manager of Florence Copper. “Our contribution will help ensure that Heritage Park is an inclusive place where all children, regardless of their background or circumstances, can play and enjoy the outdoors. This project is near and dear to our hearts because we know that for children with disabilities and special needs, a playground is a place where they can interact and be close with their peers. As a parent of a child with special needs, I know this firsthand. At Florence Copper, we are committed to the well-being of our community and look forward to seeing the positive impact these enhancements will bring.”
Florence Copper’s donation was recognized at the Florence Town Council meeting on July 15, 2024. Florence Copper remains dedicated to its partnership with the Town of Florence and looks forward to continuing to contribute to the betterment and inclusivity of the community.
