"We're going to try to raise as much money and blow that $3-million thing away," said Bruce Arians. "I know what this park means to the guys I grew up with because they are all successful, too."
The Parks Conservancy's initial goal was to raise $3 million. Now with Arians contribution, it hopes to hit of total of $4 million.
