The SDBA intends to use these funds exclusively for overall improvements to downtown Shawnee, which will benefit the entire community. Some of the things that this group is raising money for this year is to contribute to their annual donation for SafeHome (a battered women's shelter located in Shawnee) and also to help rehab homes in the downtown area for Seniors or disadvantaged citizens (similar to a "Christmas in October" program).
The Merriam Parks, Recreation, and Community Center Foundation is an independent, non-profit 501 c 3 organization which directly supports City of Merriam park and recreation facilities, programs, and parks. Fund raising proceeds directly fund youth and adult program scholarships, purchase of equipment for the Irene B. French Community Center, purchase of original works of art for city buildings, sponsorships of the Music at the Marketplace Summer Concert Series, and support of the community center art gallery.
