Fundraising for a specific individual is not considered to be charitable fundraising, since the public at large does not benefit. Therefore, fundraising for a specified individual is not subject to the registration and filing requirements imposed on charitable organizations.
The Hike: Westcave Preserve is a small piece of land owned by the Lower Colorado River Authority. What it lacks in acreage it makes up in scenery. This little brother to nearby Hamilton Pool offers some of the same formations, and some unique ones, and does so with far fewer crowds.
This nature preserve is represented on two topos, Libertyville and Wheeling. Middlefork Savanna Forest Preserve is located in southeast Lake County near Lake Forest. The entrance and parking area are located off of Waukegan Road (Route 43), north of Route 60 and south of Route 176. At the light for Middlefork Drive/Westmoreland Road, turn west onto Middlefork Drive.
