Since its inception in 1996, the Glenview Park Foundation has raised more than $2.3 million through private and public donations and fundraising events. These funds have been used to build five playgrounds, recast Glenview's Jackman Bear statue, helped fund the construction of the Wagner Farm Heritage Center, and renovate the Willow Park Fieldhouse for use by children and adults with disabilities. These achievements are an investment in our community’s future making Glenview a better place to live.

The Glenview Park Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit entity. Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Give the Gift of Fun …

So every child can play!
Your tax deductible donations can provide recreation program scholarships which give children from low-income families in our community the opportunity to participate in park district sports, arts, camps, swimming & educational programs.

3v3 Soccer Tournament Scores Again in 2013!

 

The Glenview Park Foundation’s 9th Annual Kick-It Glenview 3 v 3 Summer Soccer Fest took place on Saturday, June 22 at Gallery Park in Glenview. It was our most successful 3v3 tournament so far. We tied a record with 150 teams participating in both recreational and competitive divisions from U6 – U14 resulting in more than 2500 people enjoying soccer as a player or spectator that day. This year’s event also raised over $22,000 in revenue for the Foundation to support recreation in the Glenview community! We’d like to thank all of our participants, spectators and sponsors for participating. We hope you will support the sponsors who made this event possible.

Next year’s 3v3 Soccer Fest is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, June 21, 2014. Click here for a wrap-up of this year’s event.
