Shorewood Fest:
The City of Shorewood’s annual Shorewood Fest is one of Make Your Mark’s more casual fundraisers. The Make Your Mark Board, friends and family meet out in the Four Seasons Park's beer tent to pour beer and socialize with, and to thank the people of Shorewood for their many years of support.
Taste of Joliet:
Make Your Mark participated in one of Joliet’s major summer events, the Taste of Joliet. The three day event was held at the Joliet Stadium the end of June. This was the second year in a row that the foundation sold gourmet cupcakes (and added juice boxes for the little ones). With the weather being so much cooler than last year, we were able to sell out all three days!
Joliet West Tiger 5K Run
On Saturday, May 7th, 2011, the students and staff of Joliet West High School's Business Management Academy held their annual Tiger 5K run that was held at the Chicagoland Speedway. Make Your Mark was the recipient of the money that was collected from the run. The foundation was awarded $8,000 that will be used solely for our Family Assistance Program. Thank you to Joliet West for their generous donation.
Candlelight Bowling:
Make Your Mark held the “1st Annual Candlelight Bowl” on Saturday, February 19th, 2011. Everyone enjoyed 3 games of bowling, food donated by some of our local restaurants and pizza parlors and raffle items.
