Wilson Dow joined us for a Green Teams clean-up on September 12th at Garfield Park.

Wilson Dow is big on action. That's why we encourage our employees to invest their time in causes they're passionate about and have company-sponsored days of service. We have contributed over 1,600 hours of company-paid volunteer service time over the past 18 months, and we're proud to partner with the Chicago Parks Foundation to give back to our local community in a meaningful way.

How does your organization’s mission relate to the volunteer work you've done with CPF?

As a creative event production agency, we aim to unite and activate audiences through The Power of Live™. To make this mission a reality, our team strives to be thinkers, doers, and believers: passionate in spirit, solution-oriented and dedicated, and believe in collaboration and camaraderie.

Beyond just what we do for our clients, we bring the Power of Live into the give-back programs within our communities. One of our core tenets is recognizing the importance of sustainability, and our company-sponsored Sustainabiliteam program showcases our dedication to minimizing our ecological footprint and fostering eco-friendly practices.

What was a highlight of event day?

“I really felt like we made a difference, just in the two hours we were at Garfield Park. Unfortunately, there was an exorbitant amount of trash scattered around the park, so it was rewarding to leave it in a better condition than we found it. It was cool to see that impact first-hand.” - Camille Paskind, Creative Director

Thank you for pitching in with us, Wilson Dow!

YOU CAN PITCH IN, TOO!

Thanks to the generous support of our Green Teams, the Chicago Parks Foundation equips thousands of volunteers with free supplies for our Pitch In for the Parks citywide program.

While our Green Teams calendar is full for the 2024 season, we’d love to work with you next year! Green Teams are available June through October annually. Please reach out to discuss your event, or join our alternative Pitch In for the Parks effort!

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.
