Help support Jimi Hendrix Park this holiday season...
Dear Friends of Jimi Hendrix Park,
Warmest greetings and sincere hopes that you are well and relishing the closing weeks of 2024. As we approach a new year with all of its prospects, we are excited about a new season at Jimi Hendrix Park, and the opportunity to continue to beautify our community, while honoring Jimi. We would like you to be a part of this effort.
When we first envisioned Jimi Hendrix Park and began the work of realizing a dream to celebrate Jimi's contributions to Seattle and the world at-large in this way, we knew that it would be a collaborative endeavor. In the process of completing each phase of the project, various groups and individuals stepped up to help us reach our goals, time and time again. From this we learned that moving forward requires support from caring friends who share our vision and who are willing to commit to ensuring it comes to fruition. You, we believe, are among those special people who have a heart for Jimi, building community, and making lovely the spaces in which we live. The Park serves multiple levels. It is an eco-friendly green space located in central Seattle. It provides a comfortable outdoor setting for people of all ages and walks of life, families, and those hosting events to enjoy nature amid the artistic theme of Jimi, reflected in his music. We are asking that you please help us improve and maintain what we have accomplished in this Park.
One of our initial goals in the development of the Park was the completion of a three-phase construction process. With the much-anticipated installation of the Shadow Wave Wall in 2017, that goal was met. While we celebrated that achievement, it came at an unforeseen additional cost, attributable to the rising prices of labor and materials. Scheduled completion of the work required securing a loan with ongoing payments.

Your generous tax-deductible donation will aid us in dissolving the remaining loan balance of the Wave Wall construction, however funding is not limited to loan repayment. We are also eager to move forward with revitalization of the legacy of the Jimi Hendrix Park with new phases of beautification, which would include landscaping, plants and flowers, as well as additional seating. As those who share our vision, we invite you to give as liberally as your heart and means allow.
Thank you, in advance, for your kindness and your continued support! We appreciate your friendship!
Stay Experienced,
Janie L. Hendrix
