Preservation. Beautification. Advocacy.
The Friends of Crystal Memorial Gardens Cemetery held its first meeting on April 21, 2023. In addition to continuing to organize community clean up workdays, we have also developed a website. We launched our inaugural Dr. Martin Luther King Leadership Gala in January 2024 as our first community fundraiser and raised nearly $10,000.
We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to solicit funding from charitable foundations and community groups and we are registered with the State of Florida.
