The Foundation has traditionally focused on education and healthcare for children.  It currently has an office in Dallas but has extended its support to East Texas. The Foundation has previously provided a donation for playground equipment at the City\u2019s Fun Forest Park.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great gift for our City,\u201d said Mayor Bass.  \u201cParks play an important role in our community. They are a place where children can enjoy themselves and parents can get to know one another which is the foundation of a strong neighborhood.\u201d  Councilmember Ralph Caraway added,   \u201cWe are very fortunate that the Spangenberg Foundation blessed us with these donations.  \u201cThese enhancements to these parks will add another dimension to the neighborhoods. I know the community is elated to have this new equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; The Tyler City Council Wednesday accepted a $60,000 donation from the Spangenberg Family Foundation to Benefit Children\u2019s Education and Healthcare to be used toward playground equipment at City Park and Woldert Park. \u201cWe are very thankful for this donation toward playground equipment for City Park and Woldert Park,\u201d said Mayor Barbara Bass. \u201cIn &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/ktbb.com\/post\/?p=99863\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">City Receives $60,000 Donation<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news-archive-archives"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-17 05:51:44","action":"change-status","newStatus":"trash","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ktbb.com\/post\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ktbb.com\/post\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ktbb.com\/post\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ktbb.com\/post\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ktbb.com\/post\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=99863"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/ktbb.com\/post\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99863\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":100296,"href":"https:\/\/ktbb.com\/post\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99863\/revisions\/100296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ktbb.com\/post\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=99863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ktbb.com\/post\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=99863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ktbb.com\/post\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=99863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
