NewBo City Market Legacy Campaign

NewBo City Market has long been dedicated to sustainability and accessible community greenspace. We have designed a nature-themed playscape, illustrated by artist Russ Fagel, that will encourage children to use their imagination as they climb through a tree trunk or hop on a mushroom surrounded by native Iowa pollinator gardens. With an estimated half a million visitors to our Market Yard each year, we see this as an essential way to better serve our community.  

We have been able to kickstart this project with generous sponsorships from ITC, Great America, and Cargill but we need your help to meet our full fundraising goals. Help us make this vision a reality by purchasing one of our naming opportunities. Whether you are honoring a child who may play in this space soon or you’re leaving your legacy on the Market Yard forever – we would love your help in making this goal a reality.  By choosing to pledge to this campaign, you are supporting NewBo City Market's vision of providing a sustainable and equitable public gathering space, while fulfilling your own legacy for years to come! 

If you pledge $200.00 towards this campaign, we will engrave a brick surrounding the play area with the text of your choice. 

By pledging $1,000.00 to this campaign, we will engrave a plaque in the native pollinator flower bed surrounding the playscape with the text of your choice. (Only four spots available)

If you pledge $2,000.00 to this campaign, we will engrave one of the benches surrounding the playscape with the text of your choice. (SOLD OUT)
