Chase Loveless Memorial Scholarship Fund

Everyone Plays...

The Irmo Chapin Recreation Commission (ICRC) is committed to ensuring children in our community can learn, play, and enjoy recreational programs at our parks. To make programs financially accessible to all, the Commission maintains the Chase Loveless Memorial Scholarship Fund, which offers partial and full scholarships to children based on need. This scholarship fund is made possible through donations from businesses and individuals like you.

Your Donation Matters

Did you know that 40% of children in School District 5 of Lexington and Richland Counties qualify for free and reduced lunch? When families struggle to provide food, they do not have the resources to provide recreational activities for their children. That's why last year alone, ICRC provided over 900 children with scholarships for various sports, programs, and activities at our parks. These scholarships offer children of all backgrounds the opportunity to reach their full potential; building confidence, self-esteem character, and self-discipline. These are skills that can be transferred to the classroom, to a career, helping prepare young people to successfully compete in life.

Give the Gift of RECREATION

Through donations, ICRC offers an opportunity for you to invest in the physical, emotional, and artistic growth of youth in our community. Imagine a child’s excitement when they score their first touchdown, or their joy when they learn to dance, or make their first piece of pottery.

ICRC's goal is to encourage and inspire community members and businesses to participate in the practice of giving back. Your donations to the Chase Loveless Memorial Scholarship Fund can change a child's life.

So give the gift of RECREATION!
