Your gift helps grow opportunities for the Palatine Park Foundation to help everyone enjoy our programs and parks by providing scholarships, supporting capital projects and keeping our parks open and accessible for all. 

Get Ready to Quack for a Cause! 

Saturday, June 20

5-8 pm

Family Aquatic Center

Guests will “adopt” rubber ducks for $5 each (or purchase a Quack Pack or Flock for even more chances to win), and at 5:30 PM hundreds of ducks will race across the pool in an exciting duck drop for a chance to win cash prizes — including a $500 grand prize. The first three ducks from each heat will advance to a final championship heat to determine the overall winners. Proceeds from duck sales, sponsorships, and raffle baskets directly support the Foundation’s mission to enhance the health and well-being of the community by funding scholarships, accessibility initiatives, capital improvements, and the preservation of open space within the Park District. 

Other Ways to Give

Bequest, Wills, Trusts, and Estates

Whether giving today, in memoriam or sometime in the future, leaving a true legacy is about giving back to others to enjoy the fruits of life that you have been able to enjoy! A bequest is a meaningful way to make a lasting gift and leave a positive and true legacy. The Palatine Park Foundation is a great avenue to make this legacy a reality through various means of pledging current or future assets through your will, estate, securities, real estate or retirement assets. If you would like to discuss a gift or bequest for a specific purpose we would be happy to speak with you.

For more information, please email us and also consult with your financial adviser or legal counsel so your idea of a gift can provide the fullest value and related tax implications possible by law.
