• IT'S HERE! We’re thrilled to launch the crowdfunding campaign for Kohn Park, a vibrant new community space right in the heart of downtown Sawyer.

  Over the past year, we’ve raised $560,000 through grants, donations, and township funding to make this dream a reality. Now we just need one last push:

  We’re aiming to raise $75,000 through this campaign—and when we do, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation will match it with another $75,000!

  That means your donation will be doubled, helping us reach the finish line and start building this one-of-a-kind park for our community.

  Art, music, nature, play, connection—it’s all coming together at Kohn Park.
