Why should you consider donating to build a new park?

  • Unique opportunity to create an outstanding 52 Acre park with minimal public (tax) money
  • Creates a high quality facility to be used by local children & families
  • Promotes exercise and improved health
  • New, regulation soccer fields for the area

Regional baseball and softball tournaments will bring more people to the Illinois Valley. Increased tourism and outside visitors will increase local sales tax revenue.



The Power of Multiplication
