What is the HARD Foundation?

The Hesperia Area Recreation District (HARD) Foundation was established in 1984 by the Hesperia Recreation and Park District Board of Directors (HPRD) to work behind the scenes to ensure that all residents have access to quality recreation, facilities, parks, and programs.

The District and HARD Foundation have a long standing working relationship providing recreation and leisure time activities to the community we serve. In support of the District, the HARD Foundation members actively pursue fundraising opportunities, donations, events, community outreach, and education of the District's offerings.

MISSION STATEMENT of the Hesperia Area Recreation District (HARD) Foundation Board

To act in an advisory capacity to the Hesperia Recreation and Park District Board of Directors and to help foster communication and cooperation between citizens, institutions, special interest groups, and District personnel in order to help the District provide maximum recreation opportunities, services, and park facilities for the residents of the Hesperia Recreation and Park District.

IMPACT

Funding the HARD Foundation generates goes toward District PROGRAMS (Kids Kamp, After School Activities Program, Fishing, Camping, Skating), CLASSES (dance, fitness, special interest), EVENTS (Hot Rod Halloween, Concerts and Movies in the Park, Easter Egg Hunt) and more!

Annually, the HARD Foundation awards the Rick Novack High School Scholarship to local high school seniors with a desire to start a career in recreation, education, sports, or related fields.
