Local Chambers Of Commerce 'Bring On The Blue'

FRANKFORT, IL — Several local chambers of commerce have partnered in an effort to "bring on the blue" and show support for healthcare workers and first responders who are working to keep our communities safe during the coronavirus pandemic.

Local chambers, including the Lockport, Orland Park, Tinley Park, Mokena, New Lenox and Frankfort chambers of commerce, are encouraging businesses and residents to display blue ribbons physically, virtually or both.

“Use what you already have at home. Or draw blue ribbons on paper and put them up on your front door and windows and vehicles windows. Let this display be a sign of gratitude for the bravery of our healthcare professionals and first responders and a reminder that we are all in this together,” said Melissa Fedora, Mokena Chamber executive director.
