Event Details:
The Oak Brook Park District hosted the 14th annual Pink 5K walk/run on May 11th, and it was a huge success! Partnering with the Oak Brook Park District Foundation and UCM | AdventHealth, the community came together to raise over $24,000 for the Open Arms Outreach Fund at Hinsdale Hospital Foundation, bring free mammograms to women in need due to lack or insufficiency of insurance. Every $250.00 donated provides a free mammogram to women in need.
In a heartwarming collaboration that brought smiles to faces and generosity to the forefront, the Oak Brook Park District Foundation joined forces with Oakbrook Orthodontics for a Candy Buyback Donation initiative in support of our Sandlot Playground. This program not only showcased our community’s spirit but created a positive impact. Together, we collected an astonishing 563 pounds of candy, a testament to the kindness and generosity of our community.

Donating to charitable causes has long been an essential pillar of community development, contributing to the well-being and unity of society. A unique and deeply meaningful way to enrich your local community is through the donation of memorial trees to your beloved Central Park. While financial contributions remain vital for the maintenance and enhancement of public spaces, memorial trees offer an enduring, environmentally friendly means of honoring loved ones and simultaneously benefiting both the environment and the community at large.
