Riverside State Park Foundation

Bloomsday Season Raised: $22,000

Wildfire Relief Goal: An additional $5,000 by October 1, 2026

In the wake of the recent wildfires that swept through Spokane, our community is facing a long road to recovery. While the full extent of the damage is still unfolding, rebuilding is possible because of the unwavering strength of the Spokane community. The Lilac Bloomsday Association has extended the Charity of Choice donation portal to directly support the Riverside State Park Foundation as restoration efforts begin. Every contribution goes directly to RSPF to help restore our park safely.

The Riverside State Park Foundation has been supporting Riverside State Park for nearly 25 years, providing a critical fundraising role to assist with equipment purchases, park improvements, trail building, community events and outdoor education programs.

With over 9,000+ acres of outdoor recreational opportunities, the state’s second largest state park offers cycling and hiking trails, RV and tent camping, a 500-acre equestrian and camping area, local Native American history and early settlement education at the Spokane House Interpretive Center, an off-road vehicle park and plenty of paddling and water activities on the treasured Spokane River, Lake Spokane and Little Spokane River Natural Area.  

As a 501(c)(3) Washington non-profit organization, the Riverside State Park Foundation has assisted the park through its volunteer and fundraising programs that build, maintain and sustain the park for visitors of all ages. We help provide meaningful outdoor experiences for visitors of all ages with sustainable and accessible recreation in nearby Riverside State Park.

Your donations will help sustain Riverside State Park for future generations. We appreciate your contributions and we are grateful for the opportunity to be the Bloomsday Charity of Choice for 2026!
