In our LOOK WHO’S PITCHING IN story series, the Chicago Parks Foundation will introduce you to the volunteers who are making the 2021 season of Pitch In for the Parks + Green Teams citywide park clean-ups possible. Today, we meet JLL Chase!

JLL CHASE joined us for a Green Teams clean-up on June 11th at Jackson Park.

Who is JLL Chase?

JLL is headquartered in Chicago and provides commercial real estate services and property investment strategy for clients globally. At JLL, we shape the future of real estate for a better world.

How did your organization hear about CPF and the Green Team program?

We learned about the Green Team program while searching for volunteer opportunities at the Chicago Parks Foundation website.

Why is volunteering for the parks important to your organization?

JLL encourages employees to give back to the communities where they work and live. JLL has headquarters in Chicago and is committed to investing in Chicago. Chicago parks have helped us all get through the COVID pandemic. They have been a safe place to get outdoors after sitting in our home offices for many hours a day!

How does your organization’s mission relate to the work you’re doing with CPF?

JLL helps create and manage amazing spaces around the globe where people can achieve their ambitions and businesses can thrive. In doing so, we are building a better tomorrow for our clients, our people and our communities.

Thank you for pitching in, JLL!

YOU CAN PITCH IN, TOO!

Help us cover as much park ground as possible this season. The Chicago Parks Foundation’s citywide Pitch In for the Parks volunteer effort equips volunteer with the supplies and support you need to make an impact across our city’s 600+ parks!

Anyone can host a Pitch In clean-up group (free supplies delivered to you) or join a free volunteer event on our calendar. Or schedule a personalized volunteer event for your coworkers with our Green Teams corporate clean-up program. Both programs run June through October 2021.

You can also join us with a gift or become a Chicago Parks Foundation Member! Your support helps make vital park programming like Pitch In for the Parks possible. When you invest in the parks, you invest in the communities who love and depend on them!
