2026 IPRF Golf Outing |
|
The IPRF Golf Outing started as an IPRA social event, and is now the largest fundraiser for the Illinois Park & Recreation Foundation. This year, 140 golfers representing over 30 park districts, forest preserves, and associations helped raise over $19,000! These funds fuel the scholarships, education, and programming the Foundation gives to IPRA members across the state.
"This achievement is a reflection of the generosity and commitment of everyone here today." - Tim Reinbold, IPRF Board Chair
The 2026 IPRF Golf Outing's success as a fundraiser aligns with increased Foundation activity in the fourth quarter. Scholarships are now available, for students and professionals, to register and attend the 2027 IAPD/IPRA Soaring to New Heights Conference, taking place January 28-30, 2027 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago!
