GLEN ELLYN | Glen Ellyn Parks Foundation Hosts Inaugural Gator Race at Sunset Pool

Join the Glen Ellyn Parks Foundation for a Splashtastic Event – the Inaugural Gator Race!

GLEN ELLYN–This exciting race takes place on Thursday, August 22 from 5 pm to 6 pm at Sunset Pool (483 Fairview Ave, Glen Ellyn). Become part of the community by "adopting" a gator and be in the running for fantastic prizes, including pool passes valid for 2025!

Adopt a Gator and Support the Parks Foundation!

Just like a rubber duck race, numbered gators will race in heats down the slide at Sunset Pool. The Gator Race is more than just a fun competition; it's a fundraiser for the Glen Ellyn Parks Foundation. All net proceeds from the event will directly support the Foundation's mission of providing scholarships, ensuring underprivileged families can access recreation and athletic programs offered through the Glen Ellyn Park District, and funding preservation and improvement efforts.

Gator Adoption Options:

• Adopt a Speedy Gator – $10

• Adopt a Chomp Pack (4 Gators) – $25

• Adopt a Swamp Full (20 Gators) – $100
