Throw us a bone!
We need to raise at least another $60,000 to build Phase II of the dog park (i.e. the dog park of our dreams!) Whatever you can give would be greatly appreciated. No amount is too small. With your help, we will reach our goal one dollar at a time. However, we have set up the following fundraising tiers to encourage you to donate as much as you can. Please note that the Horner Park Advisory Council is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and your donations will be tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
There are 6 easy ways to donate:
1. Donate via PayPal
Please note that if you would like your donation to remain anonymous or have your contribution dedicated to someone else or in memoriam, please contact us separately at info@hornerparkdogpark.org after making your donation, as PayPal does not have a system for communicating that request.
2. Mail a Check
Horner Park Dog Friendly Area Committee
4439 N. Mozart Ave
Chicago, IL 60625
(Make check payable to Horner Park Advisory Council with “Dog Friendly Area” in the memo line.)
3. Donate Free Money via Great Hearts Initiative

5. Purchase from our Online Store
We have a curated selection of items in our online store, including our popular “Annual Doggos of Horner Park Calendar”. Donate the suggested amount to the park and in exchange you’ll be gifted with the item you have selected. Shop Now
6. Contact the 33rd Ward’s Alderman
Menu funds are aldermanic discretionary funds used for neighborhood improvement within each ward. Contacting the office of Rossana Rodriguez (Ward 33) and expressing your desire to have her use some of these funds towards completion of the dog park, would give us a big step towards final fundraising.

Any plans to create separate areas for small and big dos? Walsh park on Ashland just did that.
Our ideal plans would include a small dog area.
YES!
Idea for donation:
Selling engraved pavers like they have at Wrigley Field? Will help pay for the pavers you are already planning to install in Phase 2 and will enable people to memorialize their pets/loved ones at the park.
We have been looking into this and hope that it’s an option for us! It depends on what the parks district will allow us to do.
Thanks for the great idea Samantha! This is something that we have been talking about for awhile and have already begun looking into. Unfortunately, we cannot start the process until we have approved construction drawings. We may need to install permeable pavers, and the companies we have been considering do not have permeable pavers as part of their programs — which would put us back at square one, so to speak! Hopefully we will be able to figure something out though. Stay tuned!
