to IAPD’s Awards Gala earlier this month! Celebrating the commissioners, volunteers, companies, and community partners who give so much to parks, recreation, and conservation throughout Illinois is always one of our favorite nights of the year. To everyone who spent the evening celebrating with us, we so enjoyed sharing this night with you, and we’re so grateful you were there. And to our friends at the Wheeling Park District, thank you for welcoming us back to the beautiful Chevy Chase Country Club and making us feel so at home year after year!

In the wise words of Ted Lasso, "success is not about the wins and losses. It’s about helping these young fellas be the best versions of themselves on and off the field." This , we wanted to take a moment to celebrate all the volunteer coaches who spend early mornings, late evenings, weekends, summers, and holidays helping the young fellas in their communities. We see you, we thank you, and we hope you have a great day!
