Since its establishment in 1983, the Deerfield Park Foundation has been accomplishing its primary goal: “to promote and develop recreation facilities and services in the Deerfield Park District.” By soliciting tax-deductible contributions from individuals, corporations, businesses and community organizations, the Foundation is able to supplement and improve existing leisure and recreation programs and services. The Park Foundation publishes an annual newsletter DFP News (1.2 MB PDF file) -please check out this 2008 edition.

Foundation Fundraising events that have been run annually for many years include a Joint Golf Outing (679 KB PDF file) run cooperatively with the Deerfield District 109 Education Foundation (FRIDAY, JUNE 26 ) and a Moonlight Golf Outing (1 MB PDF file) coming up on Friday, AUGUST 28, 2009!. Both are open to all adults and conducted at the Deerfield Golf Club. Events include food/beverages, contests, auctions, prizes and more. The Park Foundation is currently planning a new joint event with the Deerfield District 109 Education Foundation for Sunday, April 26, beginning at 1:30 p.m., related to "Earth Day" / "Go Green" themes. Please watch for forthcoming information or contact us after February 15.

Current focuses of the Foundation are: the Grant-In-Aid (Scholarship) Program; the “Be A Dear of the Park Foundation;” and “Buy-A-Brick” or “Buy-A-Paver” for Deerspring or Mitchell Pool. Proceeds from many of the fundraising efforts go to support Deerfield's new and "Most Accessible Playground" at Deerspring Park as well as the Grant-in-Aid program.
