Become a Sponsor of the Crystal Lake Cardboard Regatta

Thank you for considering sponsoring the Crystal Lake Parks Initiative's SECOND Cardboard Regatta!

As a 501(c)(3) organization supporting park projects and scholarships, our focus is enhancing the quality of life, especially for children. Currently, we're working on building a Ball Hockey Rink at Woodscreek Park in memory of AJ Freund. This outdoor rink will offer children a place to play hockey without the need for ice time or specialized equipment.

Organizing the Regatta requires dedicated volunteers who work for months to ensure every detail is perfect. If you, your family, or co-workers can volunteer, please reach out to us. We're committed to continuing this community event and need your support to make it happen.

Join us Cardboard Regatta a spectacular success!

Sincerely,

Michele Hartwig, President

The Board of the Crystal Lake Parks Initiative Foundation
