“We want to celebrate the #EveryDayMoments that families and friends can share together at their parks this summer,” said Jed Scala, Senior Vice President of Consumer Lending at American Express. “This contest encourages people to visit the National Parks and allows them to document the natural beauty and rich history that surrounds them—oftentimes right in their own backyard.”
American Express is a premier partner of the National Park Foundation’s celebration of the upcoming National Park Service centennial with a focus on engaging a new generation of volunteers. To engage the public in the celebration, the Foundation launched Find Your Park, a bilingual public awareness and education campaign to inspire people of all backgrounds to discover all that a park can be, share their experiences with each other, and support these treasured places and their programs.
With more than 400 national parks and thousands of historic and recreational lands across the country, including natural, cultural, and urban treasures, there are endless opportunities to explore and find your own personal connections to parks. This past March, American Express announced a $5 million, multi-year grant to the National Park Foundation to support the efforts to increase volunteering at National Parks and public lands.
“We are grateful that American Express shares our commitment to connecting people everywhere to national parks and their programs,” said Abbie Gibbs, Vice President, Corporate Partnerships, National Park Foundation. “Together, we will encourage people to find their park, inspire each other by sharing #EveryDayMoments, and raise awareness about all that parks can be and all that they can offer.”
