LPRF Annual Campaign
Each year, the LPRF's primary fundraising focus is to provide scholarships for programs and memberships to ensure no child or family is turned away because of the inability to pay. Because of COVID-19 and the challenges it has presented to our community, fundraising for our scholarship program is our only goal for 2020.
2020 Campaign
- Donations: $30,254
- LPRF Golf Tournament: $10,971 (youth scholarship program)
- Total Raised: $41,225
