You have nothing to loose and much to gain at Big Wheel Night.
Look at the win, win opportunity you have!
First, to have a fun evening and a wonderful dinner with family and friends.
Second, and more importantly, you will be giving every penny of your donations directly to the students of Glen Ellyn
and to charities and organizations that provide much needed food, clothing, counselling, housing and care for at risk children and much much more.
There is no overhead or salary costs. 100% goes to those in need.
How can you loose?
Join the Rotary Club of Glen Ellyn.
Eight members of the Rotary Club of Glen Ellyn and six members of the Kiwanis club of Central DuPage and Glen Ellyn packed backpacks with food. Our intention is to provide some basic food for Glen Ellyn school children on the weekend. They receive meals at school during the week but may not have enough on weekends.
During the summer we join with the Glen Ellyn Public library as partners to continue to see that at least some meals are provided. Some of the food is paid for by the cooperating clubs and some comes from the Northern Illinois Food Bank. If you are interested in helping provide funding please contact one of the three club or public library.
