Waukegan Parks Foundation
The Waukegan Parks Foundation was created in 2014 as a 501 (c) 3 organization. The purpose is to receive charitable contributions that support the District and further the District’s community education efforts related to fitness, wellness and healthy living.
The Foundation will:
- receive gifts, bequests and endowments;
- promote the use of District resources and services;
