THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTERS, FOURTH FRIDAYS, & WHO TO CALL …

Rose Park Neighborhood Association is grateful to all of our donors who supported us for the 2024 Long Beach Gives campaign! THANK YOU!

We are also thrilled to announce the generous donation of $5,000 from an anonymous donor. This amazing donation will support the continuation of the Safe Refuge mural project on the corner of 7th and Obispo (pictured below). This collaborative project will begin in October and will be facilitated by Roses for Rose Park Artist Cody Lusby, ArtWorksLBC Artist Dawn Mendelson and the Safe Refuge team. Safe Refuge, our neighborhood nonprofit, offers a complete continuum of care: from residential to outpatient drug and alcohol treatment. Stay tuned for ways to get involved or DM us on Instagram @RoseParkLB or email us at info@rpna.org to participate.
