DO MORE 24 is Delaware’s 24-hour Giving Day that highlights the work of nonprofits in the state.  The event runs for 24 hours starting at 6pm on Thursday March 6, 2025.  Participating organizations that raise more than $5 will receive matching dollars. We are excited to be part of DO MORE 24 Delaware this year.  Donations can only be made during the 24-hour window, but you can sign up in advance to receive a reminder when the event starts.
                                                               
Your support will allow us to continue to support and enhance Cape Henlopen State Park with our numerous programs, including:
  • Borrow a Bike, which allows visitors to borrow a bike for free and tour our beautiful park.
  • The Thatcher Fund and YES grants, which provide funding to bring Title One school children and youth groups to Cape Henlopen Park to experience nature and take part in the educational programs provided by the park’s Nature Center.
  • Installation of a Monarch butterfly feeding station next to the Biden Center which features the Monarchs' favorite Delaware plants. 
  • Funding the purchase of beach access mats for dune crossings, beach accessible wheelchairs, renovation of the Park’s Disc Golf course, construction of the new Primitive Youth camp pavilion, water fountains and restrooms.
  • Funding the construction and maintenance of the playground in Cape Henlopen State Park.
  • Securing grant monies to refurbish the boardwalk and walkway at the McBride Bathhouse.
Future plans include funding for improvements such as shade structures at the picnic area and eco-friendly groundcover for the children’s playground.

We are excited to be part of DO MORE 24 Delaware and kindly ask that you consider donating to the Friends.
