Announcement - Walk Site Relocation!

The Southwest Suburban location is on the move! The Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes has been relocated to Palos Hills from Orland Park effective this year.

The new location is on the campus of Moraine Valley Community College, located at 9000 W. College Parkway, Palos Hills. The site provides all of the elements JDRF requires to host a great event: beautiful grounds, ample parking, and easy access. We are excited to be working with the college and hope all of our SW Walk teams will celebrate the new location with us!

JDRF Illinois thanks the Village of Orland Park and the crew at Centennial Park for their outstanding support over the past four years. We enjoyed hosting our event in your community.

Please visit www.jdrfillinois.org for more details on the new SW Suburban Palos Hills location. Or contact JDRF Walk Manager Mary Anne Bryan at mbryan@jdrf.org or 312-447-7954.

If you have already registered for the 2010 Walk in Orland Park, you do not need to re-register. But if you haven't registered yet for the October 3, 2010 event, please do so today! www.walk.jdrf.org.
