Mayors Charity Foundation Gives $22,300 to Local Groups: Watch Video Presentations
Watch village video of 13 Mokena groups accepting a total $22,300 in donations from the Mokena Mayors Charity Foundation.
During Monday night's board meeting at Mokena Village Hall, the Mokena Mayors Charity Foundation gave out $22,300 to 13 local charities.
Since it was formed in 1991, the group has given out $228,375 to local groups. It's not the Mayor's Charity Foundation. It's the Mayors Charity Foundation, with the plural meaning it was the foundation of past mayors Ron Grotovsky and Robert Chiszar along with that of current Mayor Joe Werner.
Below are the groups which received funds Monday night, with links and time marks that will let you see the village's video of the groups accepting their money.
