Fairmount Park Conservancy Annual Centennial Celebration

On Wednesday, April 21, 2010, the Fairmount Park Conservancy celebrated the legacy of two of Fairmount Park’s most dedicated champions, John K. Binswanger and Edith R. Dixon, at the park’s Horticulture Center. The evening included Philadelphia’s top business and civic leaders and featured remarks by Mayor Michael A. Nutter and NBC’s Chris Matthews. The event raised more than $400,000 to benefit the Fairmount Park Conservancy, and marked the reopening of the Horticulture Center as an event venue.
