Fundraising Events Throughout the Year

The Friends conduct numerous fundraising activities throughout the year to support improvements and special projects.  Please check our news page for the latest events. Some activities are one-time events while others occur on a recurring basis.  These include:

Aluminum Can Recycling — Custom-made, 75 gallon hard plastic recycling containers, sponsored by local community groups, have been stationed throughout the community to collect aluminum cans year round to raise funds for the park and pool.

NFL Draft Day — Viewing Party and Silent Auction Thursday, April 25, the Friends will host a viewing of the first round of the NFL draft.  Join us at this FREE event as we find out who the Packers draft on the pool’s new 60” television.  Food and beverage will be available for purchase and there will be silent auction items, live music and activities.

July 4th Community Bash — The Friends, with sponsorship and support from local businesses and individuals,hosts a community-wide Fourth of July celebration in the park from noon until 11:00 p.m.  This free to all event offers beer, soda, water and food for purchase and live music under a large tent.  Centrally located in the park in front of the pool building, this is a prime location for watching the Hales Corners July 4th Parade and, later, fireworks which are launched in the park.

The Hales Corners Christmas House — Each December the Friends hosts tours of a local home beautifully decorated by local businesses. The Christmas House kicks off the holiday season the first weekend in December and is complimented by the tree lighting at the Library on Saturday night, as well as by other local holiday events.
