The Friends of the Lake Bluff Park District Foundation (FLBPDF) was formed in November 2005 as part of a long-term strategy to ensure funding for capital projects and improvements of the Lake Bluff Park District. It was the vision of the Park District Board to create a citizen-based not-for-profit foundation as a permanent means of raising money. As public funding decreased and operating expenses continue to increase, the need for a fundraising group for the Park District became more and more apparent. The FLBPDF is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit entity, thus enabling corporations and individuals alike the opportunity to make a tax deductible donation towards the annual upgrades and improvements throughout the Park District's facilities and parks.

The foundation is comprised of an eleven (11) member Board of Trustees:
Peter Arnstein, President
Jim Salanty, Vice President
Alan Sidman, Treasurer
Amy Halstead, Secretary
Jack Sheppard
Jim Johnstone
Jennifer Beeler
Doug Warren

Mission Statement
