The Elmhurst Garden Club presented a donation check of $5000 to Elmhurst Park District at the Monday, October 23 Park Board Meeting. The money was raised at the club's annual Garden Walk & Faire, which took place in July. The event highlights private and public gardens in the community and includes a boutique and plant sale in Wilder Park. Proceeds from the event go to scholarships as well as many other community projects.
Representatives from the Garden Club expressed their appreciation for the partnership between the Park District and Garden Club on the event.
The Park District will use the generous donation to fund its Recreation Assistance Program, which allows disadvantaged Elmhurst families to participate in recreational programs.
