Geauga Park District Foundation
Geauga Park District Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 1991 by a group of concerned citizens to work hand-in-hand with Geauga Park District.
It is led by a group of hard-working volunteers who give their time and talents to protect our waters, woods and wildlife. Their goal is to build awareness of the Park District and to raise financial support for special initiatives that extend above and beyond those supported by county residents through their tax dollars
