Yorkville's Wrigley Employees Care!

YMCA
Employees from Wrigley Manufacturing Company in Yorkville volunteered their time to work on a beatification project for the Oswego Family YMCA.  The annual "Day of Caring" involved planting shrubs, bushes and landscaping the outside of the YMCA building.

Y Executive Director Brent Finlay told us that many members noticed, welcomed and appreciated the improvements.

 

Thank you Wrigley employees for making a difference!

ComEd Gives Back!
Exelon Check

Exelon employees, Porf Ibarra and Tawana Brady present a check for $15,000.00 from ComEd to Sheriff's Pat Perez and Dick Randall, Campaign Co-chairs, at our recent 8th annual cardboard boat race at Aurora's Phillips Park.  The check represents ComEd's corporate contribution to our 2010 fundraising campaign.  Fox Valley United Way would like to thank ComEd for their continued support!
