"Dear Loveland Parks & Rec Foundation, These are the children who benefited so very much from the funds you provided. The recreation scholarship you awarded these kiddos was used to allow them to participate in swimming lessons. They are each very proud that they passed their level and could move on to the next level. We are grateful for your generosity and for the service you provide our community and the children. God Bless." - Parent of scholarship recipients
"Thank you for allowing our children the opportunity to play and learn tennis. The experience will benefit them in their growth and maturity as people, as well as give them a new skill to enjoy throughout their lives! Thank you again!" - Parents of scholarship recipients
"In the notification letter is said a letter of thanks would be appreciated. Well if I could I would fill an auditorium filled with people and give you a standing notation. I'm sure not everyone writes you a letter of thanks but they should. Thank you for this program. You gave my children swim lessons which they loved and gave it at a point in which I could not afford it. It is so important for children to learn how to swim and this little brake gave me the ability to save to pay for another set of lessons for all three of my children. My youngest is scared of the water and in less than two weeks and with help of very friendly lifeguards he couldn't wait to go back. Thank you for what you do. My family appreciates it greatly!" - Parent of scholarship recipients
