Let’s Make Bucktown Better Together!

The Garden Walk is a powerful expression of community, where your contributions directly shape our neighborhood's future.

Last year, over $17,000 was raised to revitalize our parks, establish a lush green canopy of trees, support local schools, create welcoming signs, and enhance our holiday celebrations.

This is about more than just aesthetics; it's about sustaining the BCO's essential work, ensuring our neighborhood doesn't just exist but prospers.

Join us, be a driving force for positive change, and let's make this year's Garden Walk an exceptional success, where your generosity cultivates a stronger, more beautiful Bucktown for everyone.

Our goal this year is $45,000:

  • Business Sponsorships: $38,000

  • New BCO Business Members: $3,000

  • Individual Donors: $4,000

New to the donations this year is a business membership for all community businesses.

If you would like to support your community through a direct donation through the BCO, we have levels specified for you as well.
