At the Elgin Parks and Recreation Foundation, we believe that what we do today shapes the community we’ll enjoy tomorrow. “Play It Forward” is about ensuring that every child has a safe, welcoming place to play, every family has opportunities to connect, and every resident has access to recreation that enriches their health and happiness.

Your support is an investment in future programs, scholarships, park improvements, and inclusive initiatives that make Elgin a vibrant place to live, play, and grow. Every contribution—big or small—creates a ripple effect of joy, wellness, and togetherness that will be felt for years to come.

Our goal is to raise $12,000 by December 31st and the first $2,500 will be matched dollar for dollar!

Join us in building a stronger tomorrow. Together, we can Play It Forward.
