The Cordova Recreation & Park Foundation (CRFP) knows it takes a village to provide the Rancho Cordova community with affordable access to recreation programs – in a gracious effort to demonstrate these values, they proudly presented a check for $8,000 to the Cordova Recreation & Park District (CRPD) Board of Directors during their regular Board meeting on October 16.
This contribution has been set aside to support two assistance programs. A $2,000 portion of the donation will be given to the Folsom Cordova Unified School District’s (FCUSD) Social Emotional Learning and Education Equity Department’s program, an initiative that aims to create recreational opportunities for foster families and families experiencing homelessness. The remaining $6,000 will be dedicated to CRPD’s Scholarship Program, an essential effort to ensure recreational activities are accessible to all community members, regardless of financial barriers.
“We are proud to present this $8,000 contribution to the Cordova Recreation & Park District (CRPD),” said the Foundation’s President, Kim Oliver. “At the core of our Foundation’s mission is a commitment to enriching lives and strengthening our community. By supporting efforts that break down barriers and promote inclusivity, we help ensure that everyone has access to the valuable programs offered by the District. Our Foundation’s Scholarship Program exemplifies how we’re making a meaningful difference in the lives of our community members.”
