Support Your Community - Support Your Independence Day Celebration
As we begin the preparations for the 45th annual Independence Day festivities, the Glenview 4th of July Commission needs your help. The fantastic parade and spectacular fireworks show cost thousands of dollars. Though we receive extensive personnel, public works and safety support at no cost from the Glenview Park District and the Village of Glenview, our direct event expenses exceed $70,000 and are paid entirely with donations made by our residents and businesses. Our ability to continue to provide this wonderful celebration depends on your support.
Pick up a donation form at Park Center, 2400 Chestnut, Village Hall, 1225 Waukegan Rd. or click here to make your donation online. |
