ALLOUEZ BEAUTIFICATION CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF FLOWERS



Can you believe it has been 25 years, Allouez?

The Allouez Beautification Committee is proud to celebrate a quarter-century of our annual flower displays throughout the village. We can’t imagine Webster Avenue and Riverside Drive without all those beautiful beds and pots, can you?

We wouldn’t be able to do it without YOU. Each year, local residents and businesses donate the money to purchase the flowers from Schroeder's Flowers. Each year, as a non-profit,   all-volunteer organization, we’re so grateful for our community’s generosity.

The 2020 fundraising campaign is officially underway, and once again, we ask for your help. Donations of any amount are appreciated. There are three easy ways to do it:
    • Online at www.allouezbeautification.org
    • By check payable to: Allouez Beautification Committee, c/o U.S. Bank, 1950 S. Webster Ave., Green Bay, WI 54301. 
    • By sponsoring a pot in the name of a loved one for $100. Call Leslie Prange at 920-619-1984 by July 1.
We thank all of our loyal, longtime donors. You’re the best! To ensure Allouez’s flower tradition continues for another 25 years, please help us grow our number of new donors by sharing this with a friend or neighbor. 

Thank you for donating this summer. We promise the next time you drive by all those sunflowers on Webster Avenue, it’ll make you smile to know you’re a part of it!
