Volunteer SpotlightFor the Cordanis, volunteering is a family affair. Ben and Vicky, as Board

members representing Caterpillar and Next Door’s Marketing Committee, lead by example. They have given tirelessly of their time, talent and treasure, and demonstrate to their children the importance of serving the community. Ben and Vicky engaged their two young sons Jacob and Alex to not only

help us on event day, but also assist in the preparation of the Walk the week before! The day of the Walk the whole gang arrived early and stayed

late pitching in wherever help was needed. This small family played a very large role in the Walk’s success. Thank you, Cordani Family, for everything you

do for Next Door but especially for making us a part of your family.

I walk

today for my kids

To show how much I care for my community

Because early childhood

education matters

Walk participants were asked to share “WHY” they were walking.

Eddie Lacy took a moment to thank our presenting sponsor, Harley-Davidson Motor Company for their generous support. He also enjoyed walking with Mayor Barrett with the Northwestern Mutual Team and the large crowd through our Next Door neighborhood.

Emcees Mark Baden and Melinda Davenport from WISN Channel 12 hosted one of the highlights of

the day - a trike race that went viral thanks to ESPN. Clifford, who appeared courtesy of Scholastic Books, was also a big hit!

Local corporations and area churches made their presence known by walking in teams for the cause. Balloons, bubbles and face

painting added to our celebration of our Next Door children. Philly’s popular kid’s band, Alex and the Kaleidoscope

provided the soundtrack for the day with some great dance music to get the crowd movin’ and groovin’!
