FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Unity CDC begins planning the Joliet Black
Pride Festivities
Unity Community Development Corporation
is 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 24 years, Black Pride has
sponsored parades, recognition banquets,
essay contests, youth activities, and gospel
concerts.
Last year the Black Pride parade had 136
units in the parade which made it one of the
largest parades in Will County. Additionally,
there were over 1100 participants supporting
the Black Pride picnic.
However, with your support and pride, Unity
CDC can make the Joliet Black Pride
Festivities a continued reality. Again, we are
requesting a $35.00 registration fee, which
will help pay for the Law Enforcement
Services and other program expenses.
The dates for the Black Pride Picnic will be
Saturday, September 10, 2011, 11:00 AM –
6:00 PM and the Black Pride Parade, with a
downtown Joliet route, on Sunday,
September 11, 2011, 2:45 PM .
To make the parade a continued success,
we are requesting your attendance at a
Series of special meetings to review the
picnic and parade plans, and seek your
commitment to volunteer your time and
resources.
The Special Meetings will be held; each
Thursday, beginning July 28, 2011 to
September 8, 2011 7:00 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 at the
important planning and volunteer meetings.
