Those of us who had the pleasure of planning the first-ever DeKalb County Volunteer Fair back on April 9th would like to give another special thanks to the Egyptian Theatre for underwriting our venue rental fee!

This partnership allowed us to incorporate some special perks for all who participated in our event. For example, individuals who came to learn about volunteer opportunities were not only able to cast a ballot toward a nonprofit in attendance, they were also entered to win a pair of tickets to a show of their choice. At the end of the night, we drew (3) individuals to win tickets and (3) unique nonprofits to receive our cash prize donations, valued at $250 each.

Please join us in congratulating Adventure Works of DeKalb County, Inc., Barb Food Mart & Voluntary Action Center of Northern Illinois!

Thanks again for all who participated and helped make this a successful event - stay tuned for details about future opportunities.
