About Friends of Francis Park

Friends of Francis Park will work closely with our alderman, Tom Oldenberg, and the St. Louis Hills Neighborhood Association in determining how funds raised will be spent.

The SLHNA and Friends of Francis Park are seeking donations for a beautiful memorial to a great man. All donations should be made to Friends of Francis park, and are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
