Belvidere Park District Special Recreation

Special Recreation offers a wide-variety of opportunities to help individuals who are in need of financial assistance. We greatly appreciate the support of the Boone County Community, current Special Recreation families, and many friends that our program has made the past 6 years. Below is a list of the fundraising opportunities that you can volunteer to help with, attend, or give a donation.

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS

Gregory’s Gift
New Horizons Adult Day Program

FUNDRAISING

New Horizons Rummage Sales

Rummage Sales are held 2 times per year at the New Horizons Facility. Participants of the Adult Day Program collect donation items for the sales, sort, price, and man the rummage sales. The proceeds of the sales go towards offsetting the costs of trip/outings that the group plans.

Send a Kid “with Special Needs” Camp Moonlight Bowling

The staff at Special Recreation host a Moonlight Bowling Fundraiser each year at the Cherry Bowl in Cherry Valley. Couples come out for a night of fun with friends and family to bowl the night away. There is a silent auction, door prizes, 50/50 raffle, and a goodie bag that includes a t-shirt for each participant. All proceeds benefit the Gregory’s Gift Scholarship Fund.
