SLSF We exist to support children and adults with disabilities through philanthropy for Northwest Special Recreation Association

Special Leisure Services Foundation
(SLSF), a 501 (c) (3) non-profit
foundation, is the fundraising
arm of Northwest Special Recreation
Association. NWSRA is a partnership
of seventeen park districts in the
northwest suburban corridor of
Chicago providing year-round
recreational services to children
and adults with disabilities. Current participation levels exceed

activities, individuals with disabilities
are more productive members
of their community, realizing greater
independence, self esteem and self
worth.
