Ray Whalen Builder Tour of Lake Ellyn
Saturday, July 20, 2024
Experience the adrenaline of Chicago Grit, formerly known as Intelligentsia Cup, a thrilling
10-day criterium bike race series held annually in Chicagoland. It’s the largest of its kind in America. Unlike traditional road races, criterium (often called “crits”) are run on short
courses, typically under 1 mile. With tight corners and high-speed pelotons, the action is
non-stop, akin to NASCAR on a bike.
If you’re looking for excitement this summer, come witness fast-paced, professional
cycling action up close around the stunning Lake Ellyn course. The Tour of Lake Ellyn
is the Pantry’s largest summer fundraiser, significantly contributing to our mission to
Make Hunger History.
Join the action as a spectator, participant (including a family ride at mid-day), or volunteer, and be part of this dynamic event supporting a great cause.
Celebration of Tables
Celebration of Tables, the Glen Ellyn Newcomers & Neighbors Club's annual fundraiser benefiting the Glen House Food Pantry, will be held on Sunday, March 3, 2024, at Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton. Similar to a housewalk but with tables, the event will feature tablescapes designed by local stylists to inspire hundreds of attendees looking for creative ways to entertain.
