BiG thanks to the parents that came to help assemble the gift and prize buckets for our upcoming Gurnee Mayor Golf Benefit. They assembled 65 buckets in less than ninety minutes!

There’s still time to make a donation. Remember, every donation is being doubled up to $500,000! This could be life changing for our Citizens. No amount is too small… or to large.

A four-legged surprise at BiG! 🐾

Yesterday our Citizens got a special visit from world famous dog trainer Alex Rothacker from TOPS in Grayslake and his one and only Pappy the Poodle! Pappy showed off his famous tricks and won over everyone in the room.

Lots of smiles, lots of laughs, and a few new friends made.

Thank you, Alex and Pappy, for a fun visit. You made our day! 💛

Pappy makes you happy, and yesterday he sure did.

Our golfers are in. Every foursome for the 2026 Gurnee Mayor's Golf Benefit is officially spoken for. Thank you to everyone teeing up with us on Friday, August 28 at Bittersweet Golf Course.

Here is the exciting part: you do not need a set of clubs to make a difference. A generous donor is matching every single dollar we raise, up to $500,000, which means your gift right now is instantly doubled.

The golfers' roster is full, but there is still plenty of room to give:
✅Make a donation and watch it double.
✅Sponsor a hole and put your name behind a Citizen.

Every dollar helps our Citizens keep doing what the love to do: creating, connecting, and changing the way the world views those with disabilities.

Ready to double your impact? Everything you need is in the first comment. 💛

This could be life changing for our Citizens. Don't wait.

BiG thanks to Mark and Allyse for bringing their hay wagon so our Citizens could ride in the Gurnee Days Parade yesterday! 🎉

A BiG shout out to Sheila for getting our banners and decorations in place, and to Terry for keeping the beat on the drums throughout the parade. Thank you to Dennis and Tim for leading the way in our BiG van.

We’re so grateful to all of the parents and Citizens who helped make this such a fun event. We loved chatting with so many parade goers along the route, and we hope some of them decide to learn more about our program and support our golf benefit.
