Our 42nd Avenue recently launched a Sustain 42nd Ave fundraising campaign. Here’s why:  The PDC mandates that we become a self-sustaining organization within the next 3 years. To continue our good work, we need to establish firm financial footing on our own. Investments to the “ Sustain Campaign” made by residents, property owners and business owners are critical to our ability to reach our goal.
 
To date, several generous people/organizations have made this charitable contribution to Our 42ndAvenue – an investment that will provide a meaningful return. THANK YOU from Our 42nd Avenue and everyone who lives, works and plays here!
