The Hillcrest Playground & Schoolyard Revitalization Project needs your help!  Please visit the "Fundraising" page view design plans and for further details.

Hillcrest’s outdoor space is one of our community’s most cherished escapes. Research shows that play that takes place outdoors is vital to children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. The much loved existing playground and turf has served the community well for over 20 years but was in dire need of repair. The time has now come for us to reinvent the space for the next generation of Tigers and surrounding community members- many of whom use the playground and turf beyond school hours and on weekends.

OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT:
We are responsible for raising $70,000 by June, 2025 and welcome donations of any size.  To put this large number in perspective, if every Hillcrest family were to donate $310, we’d automatically hit $50,000! It’s important to note that all donations of $25 or more are eligible for a tax receipt.

1. You can donate by dropping off a cheque in the school’s main office addressed to:

Hillcrest Community School

Attn: Playground Fundraising

1. You can also donate online via this direct link: https://tdsb.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/457/153/false/true?school=856&initiative=166

All donors will be listed on a permanent donor wall installation that we will be mounting upon project completion. If you wish to remain anonymous or would rather not be acknowledged publicly, please let us know by emailing us at: hillcrestplaygroundfundraising@gmail.com
