Lincoln Woman's Club and its supporters raise over $7,000 for summer water safety programs at the Lincoln Park District
Donation will go toward lifeguards and swim lessons for qualified youth

[May 17, 2023]    At its final meeting of the club year, Lincoln Woman’s Club President Terri McDowell presented Jennifer Prather, representing the Lincoln Park District Foundation, with the final check for the club’s water safety project.

Lifeguards’ training will be paid, as well as beginning group swim lessons for any child in need residing in the park district area.

LWC is so grateful for two grants received to enhance the club’s funding. The Illinois Prairie Community Foundation granted $1,500, and Eaton Corporation in Lincoln granted $2,000 to the project. Many children will benefit from their generosity.

The Lincoln Woman’s Club donated $3,000 from community fundraising events, plus over $600 raised during monthly meeting raffles. The club received a member donation.

The total donated to the park district foundation this club year for the water safety project was $7206.

The Woman’s Club would like to thank the community for kindly supporting the fundraisers. The club strives to improve the community in many ways and needs the support of the entire community to achieve those goals.
