2011 Operation Christmas
The Bolingbrook Fire Fighters Local 3005 teamed up with local businesses to raise money for Operation Christmas. This year we were able to raise over $4,700 which was used to purchase much needed toys and clothes for children in need. Operation Christmas was grateful for our generous donation, as this year Operation Christmas had received a record number of requests for gifts.
Bolingbrook Fire Fighters Local 3005 could not have been so successful without the help of our local business partners. Chicago Office Technology Group (COTG) donated $2,500 to the program, Kohls of Bolingbrook donated $500 and Target Bolingbrook donated $100. Local 3005 also collected money from the Fire Fighters to use as well.
On Decmeber 19, 2011 Local 3005 members, along with some executive staff members of Chicago Office Technolgy Group, shopped at the Kohls on Boughton Rd. Together we were able to purchase over $4,000 worth of gifts, and the remainder of the money was spent at Target.
Bolingbrook Local 3005 would like to thank all of our sponsors this year, and we hope to make this an even larger event next year.
