Kresge Grant to Assist NPU Athletic Facility
CHICAGO, IL (October 18, 2005) - The Kresge Foundation has awarded North Park
University a $300,000 challenge grant to boost the school's capital
improvement campaign. The money will be applied toward the construction
of the new Helwig Recreation Center.
The center, which is expected to open in the fall next year, will
include a 200 meter two-lane indoor running track, batting cages,
basketball and volleyball courts, a climbing wall and a fitness area.
Currently, North Park has no similar recreational facility.
The deadline for compliance with the challenge grant is April 1, 2006.
The Kresge Foundation's grant-making programs are extremely competitive.
In 2004, the foundation reviewed 636 proposals and awarded 175 grants
totaling $119.5 million.
