RiverEdge Park Fund

Established 2008

RiverEdge Park
RiverEdge Park

The RiverEdge Park Fund was created to support improvements and enhancements for the new RiverEdge Park.

The park will become a regional attraction located in the heart of Aurora. It will connect neighborhoods on both sides of the river, acting as a catalyst to unify the community in a dynamic public gathering place.

The park will project a sophisticated and energetic image on the banks of the Fox River. Using an innovative design, the project will promote redevelopment, recreation and resource restoration.

Construction of the park will begin in 2009. It is anticipated that Aurora’s summer concert festival – Downtown Alive! – will move to the site for its 2010 season.

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.

Past Scholarship Recipient & Current Leadership Coach

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

Sharon Stredde

President Emeritus

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.
