After a year hiatus, 4PeteSake’s Day In The Park returns to Spring Green’s North Park on Sunday, August 15th. What began in 2005 as an impassioned effort to help a 20-year-old cancer survivor has become a summer tradition and a symbol of the River Valley’s commitment to helping neighbors in need. 16 years ago, Spring Green’s Peter Greenwood was that 20-year-old. Bone cancer had taken his leg and insurance wouldn’t pay for a next-generation prosthetic that would help him stay active. So friends of the Greenwoods held the first Day In The Park, with a goal to raise $50,000. But by day’s end, they had so far exceeded the goal that money was set aside for future people in need. And so 4PeteSake – and the Day in the Park – was born. Since 2005, 4PeteSake has been able to provide assistance to more than 90 River Valley residents facing economic hardship in the wake of a medical crisis. Fall 2020/Spring 2021 4PeteSake recipients are: Kristine Weston from Arena; John Acker, Donald and Jordean Grass, David Ray Davenport, Natalie Nicoll and Alaxandria Deneen from Lone Rock; Shawna and Andrew Fromfeld from Plain; and Regina Caldwell, Heloise Idstein, Theresa Rupp and Andrew Pardee from Spring Green. This year’s Day in the Park will feature music from local bands, food and drink from local vendors, kid’s activities and a silent auction. There will also be a 5k Walk/Run and a 26k Bike Ride. Registration for the walk/run and bike is online at 4petesake.com. Day-of registration will be available at 8am on the morning of the event. 4PeteSake thanks the River Valley Community for over 15 years of generous support.
