<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display:inline;">Columbia Parks and Recreation is unveiling a commemorative MKT Trail poster to kick off their CoMoGives campaign. The unveiling event will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on the National Day of Giving, Tuesday, Nov. 27 at Walt’s Bike Shop, 1217 Rogers St.</p>
<p>The artwork was designed by local artist David Spear, who will be available to sign posters at the event. The posters will be provided as a premium for a minimum donation of $20 (by credit or debit card only) to the Columbia Parks and Recreation Fund through the online CoMoGives campaign, which will run through Dec. 31. The event will provide a unique opportunity for donors to get a poster signed by the artist. </p>
<p>The Columbia Parks and Recreation Fund was established in 2017 as an endowment fund to sustain and augment Parks and Recreation programs and facilities during difficult economic times when operating expenses are increasing and municipal budgets are shrinking.</p>
<p>Walt's Bike Shop is supporting the Fund by offering an additional premium of SmartWool socks at the Nov. 27 event (while supplies last) for donations of $50 or more. Complimentary appetizers, beer and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided at the event, thanks to sponsors Logboat Brewing Co., N.H. Scheppers Distributing, Nauser Beverage and Pepsi Beverages Co. The art unveiling event is also sponsored by Walt’s Bike Shop. <br /><br /> <br /> For additional information about the Columbia Parks and Recreation Fund visit: CoMo.gov/parksandrec/about-us/Columbia-parks-and-recreation-fund.<br /><br /> <br /> For more information, call Columbia Parks and Recreation at 573.874.7460. </p></div>
