Perdue Foundation Grant Helps Fund Oyster House Park Outdoor Amphitheater
A $100,000 grant from the Perdue Foundation helped fund construction of an outdoor natural amphitheater at the new Oyster House Park in Seaford, Delaware. The Franklin P. and Arthur W. Perdue Foundation, the charitable giving arm of Perdue Farms, has awarded Chesapeake Conservancy, a Maryland-based environmental non-profit.
“We are so grateful to the Perdue Foundation for supporting this vision,” said Randall Larrimore, Chesapeake Conservancy board chair. “To construct the Oyster House Park, we partnered with the city and others to provide public access to the Nanticoke River, one of the Chesapeake’s most pristine rivers, and worked together to create a beautiful place for the community to gather and recreate. Thanks to the generosity of Perdue, one day we will also enjoy a performance at a new outdoor natural amphitheater. We believe we are helping to build a stronger community and a vibrant downtown.”
