FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Unity CDC begins planning the Joliet Black
Pride Festivities. This year, Unity Community
Development Corporation has taken the lead
in planning and coordinating the Joliet Black
Pride festivities. However, we need your
assistance with volunteering and support.
As you may know, the late Dave L. Evans was
the co-founder and Chairman of Joliet Black
pride Inc., established in 1987 to promote the
positive aspects of the African American
community. Over the last 22 years, Black
Pride has sponsored parades, recognition
banquets, essay contests, youth activities,
and gospel concerts. Last year Black Pride
had 130 units in the parade, which made it
one of the largest parades in Will County.
In light of our economy and the City of Joliet
budget restraints, the City of Joliet Law
Enforcement services for the parade will cost
Unity CDC more than $3800.00. All parades
in the City of Joliet are affected, and some
parades are canceled.
However, with your support and pride, Unity
CDC can make the Joliet Black Pride
Festivities a continued reality. This year for
parade entry participants we are requesting a
$25.00 donation, which will help pay for the
Law Enforcement Services.
We have established dates for the Black
Pride Picnic on Saturday, October 10, 2009
and the Black Pride Parade, with a revised
downtown Joliet route, on Sunday, October
11, 2009.
To make the parade successful, we are
requesting your attendance at a Special
Meeting to inform you of the picnic and
parade plans, and seek your commitment to
volunteer your time and resources.
The Special Meetings will be held; every
Thursday, from September 17 to October 8,
2009 at 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM, at Unity CDC,
Center for Working Families, Dave L. Evans
Campus, located at 201 S. Briggs St. Joliet,
IL. (formerly St Mary Magdalene School)
We look forward to seeing you!
