Jaycees Virtual Fundraiser
The Naperville Jaycees are hosting a virtual fundraiser performance featuring Dave Mikulskis of Hi Infidelity and presented by 95.9 The River. With their biggest fundraiser, the Last Fling, canceled this year due to COVID-19, the group had to think of a new idea. While the live stream performance is free, the Jaycees hope the community considers making a donation. You can tune in to the event on the Naperville Last Fling Facebook page at 7 p.m. on September 16.
