EARTH DAY CELEBRATION WITH MAYOR RICHARD M. DALEY
April 26, 2008

Earth Week, April 26th was a special day here at the Niagara Foundation. It was a day in which our volunteers donated their time, along with other professionals of Gateway Green, United Airlines, McGraw-Hill, and the John Buck Company to help make Chicago communities a little brighter. With the help of over 150 volunteers, Niagara Foundation was a major asset in the collaboration of a new ground breaking program TreeCago.

Many volunteers helped to transform an overgrown lot of weeds into a beautiful Garden in Chicago’s south side Englewood neighborhood. Over 50 trees were planted, rubbish removed and many beautiful plants now replace the broken down lot in front of the St. Bernard Hospital.

Mayor Richard M. Daley arrived with television stations CBS 2, NBC 5 and ABC channel 7. He took a few pictures with volunteers and then planted the first flower in Niagara Foundation’s cleared patch of the lot. It was an amazing day and wonderful opportunity for the volunteers of Niagara foundation to work side by side with other compassionate community volunteers. We thank Gateway green for the opportunity to be a part of such a worthy event.
