Park Lawn 'Tag Day' Volunteers Collecting This Weekend

Park Lawn "Tag Day" volunteers will be out and about throughout the Southland collecting donations on street corners, supermarkets and shopping centers this weekend.

This is one of Park Lawn's biggest annual fundraisers. On average, Tag Days help raise more than $50,000 that directly benefits the programs and services for individuals with developmental disabilities at Park Lawn.

Park Lawn is also recruiting volunteers to help on the weekend April 12-13 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. to spread the word about Park Lawn during the annual Tag Days event.  

Since the first Park Lawn Tag Days in 1982, more than $1 million has been collected. This is all from loose change and bills throughout the 31 years. 
 
Students often take this opportunity to volunteer for Park Lawn’s Tag Days to receive service hours for school community service hours or confirmation. 
 
Safety vests, collection buckets and handouts with Park Lawn’s logo will be provided to all volunteers.  Convenient time slots and locations throughout the south suburbs of Chicago are available for everyone.  No special training is necessary.
 
For information on Tag Days or to schedule a time and location, call the Park Lawn Development Office at 708-425-6867 or visit www.parklawn.com.

All proceeds from Tag Days benefit Park Lawn, a local non-profit agency located in Chicago’s southwest suburbs that provides vocational services, supported employment, adult developmental training, and residential services to individuals with developmental disabilities.
