About Us

Goals & Purpose

The Glenview Park Foundation was formed in 1996 for the purpose of providing additional financial support to assist the park district in its delivery of recreation programs, services, facilities and events for Glenview residents. The foundation raises funds through community partnerships, individual donations and annual fundraising events such as the Firecracker Classic, the 3v3 Youth Soccer Fest and Winterfest.

The Foundation is guided by a Board consisting of community members and business leaders dedicated to improving the quality of life for our residents through recreation, leisure and open space.
