Planning for Park Avenue’s Future

Meet Margaret Proctor

Margaret Proctor was born in Kansas and was a resident of Park Avenue for her entire adult life. Over the years, she took great pleasure in watching the seasons unfold on the avenue beneath her window.

When she made her will, after providing for her family, she left her residuary estate for the beautification of this special avenue which had been her home for many years.

About The Park Avenue Society

Mrs. Albert D. Lasker, one of our country’s foremost advocates of urban beautification, was the catalyst for the creation of The Fund for Park Avenue. Today, donors to the Fund demonstrate their appreciation and acceptance of the need to share the responsibility for beautifying their city.

By remembering The Fund for Park Avenue in your will, you will help ensure that Park Avenue will be beautifully maintained for future generations to enjoy.

For more information, please call (212) 836-4371.
