FGG Feedback from Recent Recipients
Fieldcrest HS- "The Fieldcrest Girls golf team used the money to purchase supplies needed to get extra
practice time in open areas with the supplies. We used the money to purchase
supplies so we could practice off the course. Some of the items purchased were
practice mats, hitting nets, smash bags, foam balls, putting aides, and pickup ball bags.
Overall, this was very crucial to our very successful season. Without these supplies, we would not have the extra
practice materials used to make this advancement."
​
Concordia Lutheran- "We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the River Cup Foundation for generously providing us with the opportunity to be awarded the FGG funds. We were able to enlist the services of a professional from the Peoria Park District, ensuring our participants received both group and individual lessons of the highest quality. Additionally, the funds were instrumental in acquiring team uniforms and bags for those players who successfully advance to the post-season. This support has greatly contributed to the success and development of our program, and we sincerely appreciate the ongoing partnership with the River Cup Foundation."
