2025 Sparkle Youngstown
Help us make Youngstown Sparkle!
With the holidays approaching and the season of giving upon us, at CityScape we are reflecting on the incredible journey we have shared to help make downtown Youngstown a welcoming, vibrant destination. Your donations support Youngstown CityScape’s work, and together we continue to make a significant impact.
You have stood beside us, and together, we have:
-
- Planted over 25,000 flowers annually
- Partnered in the USDA TreeCorps Project to rehabilitate Youngstown’s tree canopy
- Restored and replanted the Champion Street Bunker
- Increased the amount of public greenspace we maintain by over 400%
- Reestablished our city’s Holiday Parade – we started small 16 years ago and now have over 100 entires and 15 marching bands
- Grown Streetscape (over 1,000 volunteers) and the Holiday Parade (over 13,000 in attendance) into two of Youngstown’s largest annual downtown events
- Imagined holiday lighting with Sparkle, and expanded our display from Central Square, to West and East Federal Streets, Phelps Street, and now Front Street
- Saved the last working greenhouse in Youngstown, transforming a vacant property into a stablizing force
- Created a citywide neighborhood gardening resource center, which, when complete, will offer a demonstration kitchen, event space, and makers mart
- Planted over 600 mums for a colorful fall
- Prepared for spring with over 2,200 bulbs
For 28 years, CityScape and its supporters have been moving our city and our region forward, with bigger and better projects and events. Your generous support is used for the flowers, plants, bulbs, and trees that decorate the city during the summer months, evergreens and lights that adorn the city in the winter months, and help us provide upkeep throughout the year. You can feel good knowing that your support is channeled into projects that create a welcoming downtown and nourish a sense of pride in our city.
In this season of joy and giving, we hope Youngstown CityScape, and our vision for a bigger, brighter Youngstown, is on your list. Together we are supporting our center city, and ensuring a safe, clean and green downtown!
Don’t let this season of joy and giving pass without being part of the mission of Youngstown CityScape.
Your gift will help to revitalize downtown, keeping it safe, clean and green!
Over 90% of our support comes from donors like you. We are so grateful for all you do for our mission!
