The Greater Hayward Area Recreation and Park Foundation
The Greater Hayward Area Recreation and Park Foundation was initiated in 1983
and is a tax exempt entity made up of private citizens with a goal to preserve
the quality of parks and recreation facilities and programs within the boundaries
of the Hayward Area Recreation & Park District. The Greater Hayward Area Recreation
and Park Foundation has enabled citizens and businesses alike in the community
to show their support and park and recreation services by providing an avenue
for making tax-deductible donation to the programs or facilities of their choice.
In addition, the Foundation sponsors fund-raising events each year, proceeds
of which go towards the betterment of leisure programs and facilities.
Over the past 16 years, the Foundation Board of Directors
have voted to provide funds towards a number of items including: Arts & Crafts equipment for the Sorensdale Handicapped Center, Flexible climber system for the gymnastics center, pool step entry system for the Mt. Eden Swim Center, portable ballet barres for the San Felipe Community Center, high fire kiln for the Adobe Art Center, audio equipment and a sound reinforcement system for the Hayward Little Theatre, inflatable pool slide for the District's swim centers, a mechanic's
equipment life for Skywest Golf Course, and a high pressure drain cleaning
system for the Parks Department. Estimated cost of these funding projects
is $33,000. Since inception of the Greater Hayward Area Recreation and Park
Foundation in 1983, the Foundation has funded numerous projects and purchased
items for the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District totaling in excess
of $300,000. For additional information, please call (510) 881-6712.
