Nineteen local charities just received a share of $124,500.
The entire event is driven by an amazing group of Carol Stream residents who bring people together for two weeks of tournament play and massive local impact. Over the last decade, they have given away more than $500,000!
I participated on behalf of the Bloomingdale Parks Foundation. For us, this support translates into concrete action. Over the past six months, we provided an estimated 875 hours of recreation and childcare for local families. These are kids who were in safe, active environments—like summer camps, sports, and before-and-after school care—because a financial barrier was removed through our need-based scholarship program.
Huge shout-out to the Bags for Life Tournament volunteers for inviting us to be part of this and for your incredible commitment to our community. Learn more at:
