Tuscaloosa Rotary Club Donates Second Installment of Mason’s Place Pledge
The PARA Foundation received the second installment of funds from the Tuscaloosa Rotary Club apart of the pledge they made to assist with the additions to Mason's Place Park.
The club presented the local foundation with a check for $15,000 Tuesday. The club pledged a total of $50,000 and gave the first installment of $20,000 in September 2022.
Caroline Lasseter, the director of development for the PARA Foundation, said they are grateful to receive the funds from the club that will be used to begin the second phase of expansions at Mason's Place, an all-inclusive playground that is one of the most used parks in the PARA organization.
