Lake Crystal Area Recreation Center
“The Glen A. Taylor Foundation has been a significant supporter of the Lake Crystal Rec Center since its inception. In fact, the Foundation's substantial support helped transform the Rec from a concept on paper into an amazing center serving multiple counties. Twenty-five years later, the Taylor Foundation once again invested in the Rec Center's first expansion, helping bring a multi-story indoor children's playground to the region. Simply put, without supporters like the Taylor Foundation, projects like ours simply would not happen, and the best part is that their impact lasts for decades." –Dr. Ryan Yunkers, Lake Crystal Rec Center Executive Director
“As both a 25-year employee of Taylor Corporation and a 10-year board member of the Lake Crystal Area Recreation Center (LCARC), sincere gratitude is extended to the Glen A. Taylor Foundation for its generous support of the Youth Playground expansion. This grant will enable LCARC to develop an interactive and engaging playground. This will address the needs of an underserved age group within the community by promoting health and fitness.” –Meghan Peterson
