Fundraising and Raising Fun
This day can be enjoyed by both golfers and non-golfers: oodles of games on and off the course; a bloody mary bar and continental breakfast; meeting our esteemed guest President Preckwinkle; golfing with your favorite foursome; visits with Forest Preserves animal ambassadors; a Buckets of Fun raffle; and wrapping it up with a shared cocktail reception and dinner under the tented pavillion, music provided by a wonderful DJ.
Enjoy time outdoors in this beautiful setting alongside friends and colleagues, all while helping make sure these treasured lands thrive and are accessible to all communities.
What is the Conservation Cup?
This fun day of golfing and gathering is the Forest Preserve Foundation’s longstanding fundraising event.
The Foundation supports projects at the Forest Preserves of Cook County that restore vital public lands, engage in climate resiliency measures, eliminate barriers to equitable access, nourish cultural engagement and nurture the next generation of environmental advocates.
