LPRF Annual Campaign

About the Liberty Parks & Rec Foundation

The Liberty Parks & Rec Foundation (LPRF) was established to create a parks expansion fund for neighborhood access to parks and green space, and to provide financial assistance to aid low-income youth and families to access programs through scholarship assistance. 

We are excited to launch our 2023 Annual Campaign to support the programs and services offered by Liberty Parks & Rec. We are committed to funding services for kids, families, and the Liberty Community.

The 2023 Campaign Chairs are Dan & Wanda O'Dell

How Donations Are Used

Scholarships for Kids & Families

The Foundation's primary goal is raising funds to support scholarships to ensure kids' families, and our community have the opportunity to participate in the department's youth activities or provide memberships to the Liberty Community Center. Since the scholarship for activities program began in 2009, more than 1,948 scholarships have been awarded and more than $160,386  has been used to provide financial assistance.

Funding for Projects & Programs

The LPRF also focuses on the development and implementation of highly desirable programs and projects that would otherwise be beyond the scope of traditional funding sources. The 2023 fundraising focus will be announced soon!

Since the LPRF started the Annual Campaign in 2017, we have raised more than $437,000 providing scholarships and the completion of many projects throughout Liberty's Parks.
