The Illinois Park & Recreation Foundation (IPRF) provides resources to park and recreation agencies and professionals statewide through promoting the health and well-being of Illinois’ citizens, increasing the community-building impact of parks and recreation, enhancing the quality of life among Illinois residents and expanding the positive impact of parks and recreation on local economies in Illinois communities.
Part of our commitment to the profession is ensuring future park and recreation professionals have tools they need to be successful. Each year, we hold a silent auction at the IAPD/IPRA Annual Conference to raise scholarship funds for students majoring in recreation administration and leisure studies at Illinois colleges and universities.
You can help us reach our goal by donating a gift or service to Silent Auction 2011. All donations are tax deductible - IPRF is a 501-C-3 organization - and we also accept monetary gifts. More than 4,000 park and recreation professionals, commissioners and exhibitors will have the opportunity to bid on your donation at the conference.
Please complete and return the Donation Form by Nov. 12. If you have questions, feel free to contact Heather Weishaar at 630.376.1911 x202.
