Loyola Park Support Fund
Donation protected
Loyola Park is one of the gems of the Chicago parks system. Loyola Park Advisory Council (LPAC) is a non profit that promotes activities in the park and invites all our neighbors to participate in events like the Daddy Daughter Dance, Black History Celebration, Kids Reading Library and the Artists of the Wall Festival. Along with it's beautiful lakefront beach, the park has tennis courts, basketball and baseball facilities and a full roster of field house based team sports. LPAC raises money for scholarships to these events plus Movies in the Park and many other reasons to visit year round.
This year much as it's been for everyone, has been tough on our organization. THE ARTISTS of THE WALL which is our main fundraising event had to be cancelled. Plus our local sponsors were having their own financial issues and their donations to us did not flow this year.
Yet we are committed to continuing our mission and will plan creative ways to reach out and involve the Rogers Park community in the New Year.
One example is our virtual version of the Artists OFF the Wall contest. Because of health restrictions in gathering, we invited local artists to enter works on line in several different categories. We chose the best and sent out prizes that also supported many of our neighborhood businesses. We even made a special T-Shirt for the one -off event. In the coming months we look forward to the easing of the park and city restrictions and return to the programs and park environment we love and maintain.
