SEASPAR Receives Grant from Service Club of Chicago

A grant totaling $5.730.50 was award to SEASPAR by the Service Club of Chicago, a charitable organization of women whose mission is to support organizations like SEASPAR meet and achieve goals since 1890.

SEASPAR was pleasantly surprised when it learned it would be a recipient of a grant from the Service Club of Chicago, especially since 2021 was the first year SEASPAR applied for a grant of its kind. The grant money was officially presented to SEASPAR during a reception ceremony hosted by the Service Club of Chicago at the Four Seasons in Chicago on June 21. The ceremony was attended by Service Club of Chicago members and several other beneficiaries of the club's generosity. SEASPAR is truly honored to be selected as a grant recipient and gives thanks to everyone who helped make it possible.

SEASPAR will dedicate the grant money to the purchase of fitness trackers and equipment that will support wellness and education for the participants of its EAGLES program. SEASPAR's EAGLES program is a community-based adult day program that incorporates therapeutic recreation to help adults ages 18-50 years with developmental disabilities enhance adult growth through lifestyle education and service. The EAGLES program provides services to over 100 adult individuals with special needs in sites located in Brookfield, Darien, Lemont, and Lisle.
