During 2013/14, FIF concluded the very successful Fenwick Challenge Campaign, thanks to the wonderful generosity of the community and the leadership gift and match from the Frankels who got the campaign started.  During the summer of 2014, the community was able to see the results of that effort.  There are four newly surfaced and landscaped tennis courts; the pier has been improved and repaired from the hurricane Sandy damage; and the beach has been restored and upgraded with a reinforced slab, new platform, furniture and plantings. Without the generous support of the Fenwick community none of these repairs and improvements would have been possible. 
 
Since 2014, FIF supported improvements to Sequassen Avenue, improvements to the Ryder Course, the creation of a comprehensive Borough Web Site, funding to the Wildlife Habitat Committee, restoration of storm damage, golf course drainage project, planting of trees, leveling and enlargement of tee boxes, support of the Hepburn Family Preserve dune restoration, and the replacement of playground equipment.
 
The FIF exists to support the Borough and to fund projects that cannot be covered by the Borough budget. There are still capital projects that need to be funded and your financial support of FIF will help move these projects forward.
