Join us!
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 and new General Superintendent Adam Bianchi; 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 premier charity golf outing that blends purpose with play.
Join us and help drive impact—one swing at a time.
The Conservation Cup isn’t just about a great day of golf—though you’ll find plenty of that. It’s about bringing together leaders from across Cook County to invest in something greater: Preserving our Forest Preserves and developing local youth to become the next generation of conservation leaders. Imagine a fun day of golf among leaders such as yourself surrounded by the natural beauty that together we can preserve.
Our Mission
The Foundation's mission is to engage in protecting and restoring the treasured natural habitats of the Forest Preserves of Cook County and to enhance the outdoor experiences of all communities. We do this by encouraging and administering private gifts to further the Forest Preserves’ mission and goals.
