On Saturday, September 14, 2024, McWilliams Electric Company coordinated their 25th Annual Construction Team Picnic to benefit the Special Olympics athletes at the IBEW-NECA Technical Institute in Alsip. The picnic raises funds for athletes within Illinois’ Region E, which includes Will, Grundy, Kankakee and Southern Cook Counties, and helps offset their costs to participate in the annual Special Olympics Summer Games.

PowerForward DuPage has been a proud sponsor of this annual event since 2013 and we are pleased to announce that this year over $23,000 was raised in donations. Thank you to the members of the IBEW Local 701 RENEW and Women’s Committee for volunteering at this fun and inspiring event!
