Columbus, Ohio Apr 19, 2024 (Issuewire.com) - The Ohio State Parks Foundation (OSPF) is holding the third annual “Vote for Your Favorite Ohio State Park” fundraiser, starting on Earth Day, Monday, April 22. Donations and votes will be tallied through Monday, April 29. Each winning state park will retain a portion of the funds donated, which will go toward park improvement projects and focus on the Ohio State Park Foundation’s mission which is to enhance, preserve, and protect the parks.
Voters’ names will be entered into a random drawing with a chance to win an official Ohio State Parks Passport book or a 2-night RV rental with RV Wholesalers (blackout dates may apply). To enter, go to https://ohiostateparksfoundation.org/vote-for-your-favorite-ohio-state-parks/ starting April 22. Winners will be announced May 1. Last year, Lake White and Hocking Hills were voted as the top favorite state parks.
Additionally, voters who are members of OSPF’s recently announced “Heart of the Parks” membership program will have their votes doubled.

Show your support by voting with your heart and with your dollars!”
