Our Success Stories...

Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Illinois -  February 29, 2020,  at Oak Brook Bath & Tennis Club.  Team Warrenville’s goal was to raise $1,000 and with the help of many generous donations, $1,498 was raised!  Thanks to all.  Watch them take the plunge at this City of Warrenville Facebook video link.

December 2019 - Shop with a Cop: The Police Department participated in the 33rd Annual Shop with a Cop event. The county-wide event was coordinated by the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 109 and designed to benefit local underprivileged children. Participants gathered at the Glen Ellyn Park District for breakfast and caravan to the Meijer food store in Bloomingdale for shopping. Children were able to choose to shop for themselves or for family members.  

November/December 2019 - Toys for Tots:  The Police Department was a drop-off site for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots campaign.  The generosity of those who donated this year was amazing!  

November/December 2019 - No Shave November and Double-Down December: During these two months, the Chief of Police temporarily lifted the police policy, which then allowed personnel to participate in these two noteworthy causes. Personnel donated no less than $75 to participate in these fundraisers to help in the fight against childhood cancer, whether they grew hair or not.   A total of $1,305 was raised and donated to St. Jude Hospital.  Check out Marlo Thomas’  heartwarming thank you letter.
