Community Connect is hooking you up and helping you out with resources you can use for neighborhood fun!
Block Club Chicago is hosting an end of summer block party today from noon-8pm at McCormick YMCA (1834 N. Lawndale Avenue), with food, games, kids activities plus live entertainment and performances. Chicago urban historian Shermann “Dilla” Thomas and Frank “Gator” Robb of Chance the Snapper fame will be making appearances. Admission is free, plus free street parking. VIP packages are also available and proceeds will support the nonprofit newsroom, building community through truly ground-level coverage of Chicago’s neighborhoods.
Today is the PAWS 5K Walk from 7:30-11am at Montrose Harbor, bringing together thousands of animal lovers to raise funds and awareness for homeless pets. They’ll also have giveaways, a dog agility course, pet massages, raffles, treats, and surprises. Online registration has closed, but you can still join in the fun and register on site at Montrose Harbor.
Remember, our community moves forward in the best way possible when we all get the help we need and give the help we can!
