Parklife patrons support the Parklands

Posted: 12 December 2012

The Centennial Parklands Foundation and Australia’s biggest music event organisers, Fuzzy, have partnered on a series of green initiatives to ensure the Parklife music festival provides a lasting legacy in Centennial Parklands.

Fuzzy and the FoundationThis year Parklife festival goers were given the opportunity, when purchasing their tickets online, to opt-in and make a donation to support the Centennial Parklands Foundation. The money raised from the event and this new initiative goes back into the maintenance of the Parklands and towards activities such as planting new trees, improving amenities and upgrading infrastructure.

“It is extremely satisfying to see that Fuzzy is not only hiring the Parklands to stage Parklife, but they are actively supporting the Parklands, and encouraging patrons of Parklife to also support the Foundation,” said Peter Hadfield, Executive Officer of the Centennial Parklands Foundation. 

“A true partnership has been forged between the Parklands and Fuzzy and I hope to see more people opting-in when they are attending these festivals to help raise for funds for the Parklands over the coming years.”

Long term supporters of Centennial Parklands, the Fuzzy team donated a beautiful lemon-scented gum to the Parklands in May 2010. The donation marked the beginning of a series of green initiatives, including the ticket sales donation idea, which is now helping the Foundation raise much needed funds for the Parklands.

“Fuzzy and Parklife are proud to support the Centennial Parklands Foundation and their efforts to maintain the beautiful Parklands in the heart of our city. We would love to see this initiative take off next year and for more patrons to opt-in when they purchase a ticket,” said Adelle Robinson, Director and General Manager of Fuzzy.

Centennial Parklands is 7% government funded and 93% reliant on the public support.
