BEN’S MEMORIAL MILE

Community members gathered for Ben’s Memorial Mile, a community festival and running gala that honors the life of Ben Silver, in June at Downers Grove North (DGN) High School.

Ben was a 2011 DGN alum who lost his life to schizophrenia in 2015. Ben’s Memorial Mile occurs every June, and encompasses races for all ages and abilities, in addition to other fun activities for the entire family.

All funds raised from the event are given to mental-health aid, research and suicide prevention.

YMCA GOLF OUTING

Local business owners and supporters of the Indian Boundary YMCA gathered for the annual On Course for a Cause golf outing on July 15.

This year, the YMCA raised more than $35,000 to help more children and families access programs built on caring, honesty, responsibility and respect.

Through its shared mission, Indian Boundary YMCA welcomes more than 11,000 members each year.

Last year, the organization provided financial assistance to 450 families in Downers Grove and surrounding communities.
