On May 20-21, more than 1,000 volunteers came together to collect donations at storefronts and intersections throughout the Northwest suburbs.

All donors received a packet of Jelly Belly jelly beans and all donations will benefit the 7,000 children and adults with autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, and other intellectual/developmental disabilities served by Clearbrook.

Clearbrook is very fortunate to have many loyal supporters who continue to volunteer for this event year after year.

The more people who participate, the more money generated for Clearbrook programs and services. Clearbrook thanks its volunteers for helping make such a successful event.

For information about this event and other Clearbrook events, contact Hillary Mittelman at (847) 385-5009 or hmittelman@clearbrook.org.
