Change is Good

Join us for Change is Good, where kids can make a difference!

Start collecting your pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and bills because the most exciting family-friendly event in town is just around the corner and we’ve got big changes!

Community Partners of Dallas is thrilled to be the nonprofit beneficiary for a magical new project at NorthPark Center, The Pumpkin Patch, which will feature whimsical garden installations October 14 – November 3 in CenterPark Garden at NorthPark Center. This gift to the local community will be interactive and encourage guests to capture photos, learn about the important work of Community Partners of Dallas, encourage charitable giving, and make precious memories this Fall. For the first time, CPD is honored to celebrate Change is Good 2024 at CenterPark Garden at NorthPark Center as the kickoff event in The Pumpkin Patch!

Change is Good encourages kids to collect change to change the lives of abused and neglected children in Dallas County. Last year our families collected 45,673 coins and raised more than $17,000 to support the children we serve!

At the event, children will exchange the money they have collected for chance tickets to win fabulous prizes. We’ll have fun and games for the children to celebrate their hard work while you enjoy great food and libations.

Your support will make a tremendous impact in the lives of the abused and neglected children in our community!

Change can even be raised online! To set up a personalized page to send to friends, neighbors, grandparents and more, click the button below. The virtual cange deadline is Friday, October 11 at 5 p.m. Physical change collected will be counted at the event.

For every $10 of change you raise, you will receive one chance ticket for one of our fabulous prizes!

Underwriting Sponsorship packages are on sale now. We can’t wait to see you there!
