FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lisle Eyes to the Skies

“A Festival Benefiting Charities”

Recently, The Lisle Eyes to the Skies Festival committee presented nearly $50,000 to the festival’s affiliate members.  Proudly accepting checks for their organizations was Tom Althoff, Lisle Chamber of Commerce; Lisa Leone, Partners for Parks; Debbie Starr, Lions International; Dennis Webb, Lisle Education Foundation; Ed Czupryna, Kiwanis International and Mike Shuta, Rotary International.  The Eyes to the Skies Balloon Festival is a not-for-profit, 501c3 organization.  These affiliate members gathered hundreds of volunteers and spent countless hours and tireless effort resulting in the 2010 Eyes to the Skies being a great success.   It is the hope of the Eyes to the Skies Festival committee that these financial contributions will assist the Lisle service organizations in continuing to provide their valuable services within the community.  Dates for the 2011 Eyes to the Skies Balloon Festival are July 1 – July 3.
