As a Trustee for the Western DuPage Special Recreation Association Foundation, Greg was delighted to have the opportunity to referee WDSRA's Inaugural Pickleball Tournament! So much fun working with these amazing athletes!                  SUPPORTING ST. BALDRICK'S  IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a charity committed to finding a cure for childhood cancers. Each year St. Baldrick's hosts the world's largest head-shaving program to help fund lifesaving childhood cancer research. This year Greg donated to his friend, Denise, who was able to raise over $10,000 in her personal head-shaving campaign!                         PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE DuPage County Allocates $2 Million to Continue the Fight Against Food Insecurity   PRESS RELEASE: The DuPage County Board on March 12th voted to provide nearly $2.1 million to assist local food pantries with food and infrastructure needs. The Board voted to add $500,000 to its Local Food Pantry Infrastructure Investment Program, which provides funding to local food pantries for capital equipment purchases or information technology investments. DuPage County also allocated nearly $1 million to 16 food pantries for infrastructure and technology investments in February. Additionally, the County will provide nearly $1.6 million to the Northern Illinois Food Bank, allowing the organization to distribute fresh produce, protein, and essential commodities to local food pantries in DuPage County. This allocation brings the County's total funding provided to the Northern Illinois Food Bank to more than $4 million. "We've heard from our residents that food insecurity continues to be an issue. These two programs will help address the immediate need for fresh food, while also providing funds to create the framework for pantries to be sustainable and successful for years to come," said Human Services Committee Chair Greg Schwarze.    DUPAGE COUNTY GOING SOLAR! A huge thank you to Glen Ellyn couple Ann Boisclair and Jeff Jens for their recent donation of $50,000 to DuPage County for the installation of a 164-kilowatt solar panel system on the roof of the 421 Administration Building. This system will lead to a reduction of more than 100 metric tons of carbon dioxide, which is enough to power nearly 30 homes annually. This is just the start of DuPage County's vision of solar panel installation throughout the county campus!   Greg is working hard as your elected representative, and is very grateful for your support.
