DuPage County Police Association
2009 Christmas Hospital Toy Run
|
|
On Friday, December 18, 2009 members of the DuPage County Police Association braved the weather to visit children
and hand out toys and gifts at Edward Hospital in Naperville, Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, Elmhurst Hospital,
Hinsdale Hospital, and Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove. Continuing a tradition originally begun in 1962, the
event was sponsored by the McDonald's Corporation of Oak Brook, which arranged for the bus from Chicago Mini Bus
Travel, and lunch for all participants in their executive dining room in Oak Brook.
Joining the group this year was Sponge Bob Square Pants (Marc Delise, Oak Brook PD Retired), Santa Claus (George
Pradel, Naperville PD Retired & current Mayor), and Ronald McDonald. This year we had not one, but two police K-9 units. Special thanks goes to Warrenville Police Officer Matt Komar and his dog "Bandit," and Darien Police Officer Rich Stutte
and his dog "Rolf". Everyone had a great time helping to deliver toys and gifts to the children.
A total of 15 active and retired DPA members representing ten different law enforcement agencies participated in the
event, along with representatives from the McDonald's Corporation, Chicago Mini Bus Travel, and the ChicagoWhite Sox.
