CLUB CREATES FOUNDATION TO AID IN CHARITABLE DONATIONS
Even though the Tri-Cities Exchange Club has been serving its communities for 30 years, club members wanted a way for those who supported the club’s charitable causes to be able to make donations that were tax deductible.
Two years of hard work paved the way for the creation of a Foundation for the club.
The Exchange Club of the Tri-Cities, Illinois Foundation was formed in 2006 as a 501.c.3 charitable organization for the purpose of providing programs which promote community service and the prevention of child abuse. The Foundation also raises money to assist other community service organizations which seek the same objectives.
In recent years, the Foundation has raised funds to recognize students who have completed high school while overcoming significant barriers among other efforts. The Foundation supports programs of the Salvation Army, CASA, Tri-City Family Services, Riverwoods Christian Center, Lazarus House, Embrace A Family, among others.
Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible and should be made out to "The Exchange Club of the Tri-Cities, Illinois Foundation" and mailed to P.O. Box 691, St. Charles, IL 60174.
