Tinley Park Jaycees Awarded $1,000 Grant

The Tinley Park Jaycees were the proud recipients of the Allstate Charitable Foundation $1,000 “Hands in the Community Grant.”

The Tinley Park Jaycees received the grant from Jay Lindberg of Allstate in Tinley Park. The check was presented to Myria Stanley, Tinley Park Chapter President on September 25, 2014. This took place at Durbin’s of Tinley Park while live on WGN Radio with Pete McMurray. This grant will help the Tinley Park Jaycees in their future efforts of creating positive change within the community. Some of our future plans include fundraising for local charities, recycling events, and so much more. As a chapter the Tinley Park Jaycees are grateful for this award and look forward to the change that it will create.

The Tinley Park Jaycees are dedicated to assisting and improving the community. They are a non-profit community organization for young people aged 21-40 and are a chapter of the United States Junior Chamber. They are committed to leadership development through community service. You will find them volunteering their time, fundraising, providing professional development trainings to assisting other community organizations within the south suburbs. A great benefit to their work is that they meet great people and have fun doing so.
