Thank you to our Sponsors

Without our generous sponsors, the Glen Ellyn Independence Day Foundation would not be able to put on our annual
celebration, which is fully-funded by donations. Please consider sponsoring the 2026 event.

Sponsorship demonstrates involvement in the community and provides valuable opportunities for your
business to gain visibility among the thousands of attendees at the picnic, parade, and fireworks.
