Help Support the Party
Each party location has to have enough donations and/or volunteers to ensure that all of the attendees are able to experience the spirit of Chicago and enjoy the Chicagoland area. Listed below are some of the supplies that we need at each party location and the different roles anyone can volunteer to fill. Since this is a community lead project, we are also welcoming groups to volunteer together! Any and all help, even just spreading the word, will be appreciated.
If you haven't yet, please show your support and interest in having a Chicagoland party by filling out a quick form.
