Brookfield Parks and Recreation Foundation

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the race on Saturday and everyone who supported the foundation by buying and selling ducks and sponsorships throughout the summer. We had a beautiful (hot!) day for the race, and the winners made it down the creek in just over 30 minutes. Here are the big winners:

First Place ($1,000): Katie Villalobos
Second Place ($750): Christine Riley
Third Place ($500): Brigid Weber
Gift Card Winner (Stadium Club): Dorothy Nava
Gift Card Winner (Brookfield Breakfast): Linda Dumas

We sold 3,025 ducks and raised more than $18,000 for the Brookfield Parks and Recreation Foundation! All the proceeds will go to local low-income families looking to enroll in parks programs, including before and after-school care, sports, camps, cooking classes, and other activities. Depending on their income level, families are eligible for discounts of up to 50% on program fees. Donations are accepted throughout the year here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/e509a22d-cf10-4b01-9373-471902a2a2b5

Stay tuned for future BPRF events, including a bags tournament in October and our annual fundraiser in the winter. And don't miss the return of the Pickleball Tournament and Duck Race in 2026!

See you around town!
