Hamlin Park can win $25,000!

The Staples Dream Park Challenge, in partnership with the Chicago Bears and support from the Chicago Park District, is a new initiative designed to encourage local residents to get involved with their community parks. The winning park will receive $25,000, the second place park will receive $10,000 and the third place park will receive $5,000 to put toward park improvements. The remaining Jr. Bears parks, who do not place in the top three, will still receive $1,000 for their participation.

Staples is calling on Chicago residents to support their local Jr. Bears park and neighborhood youth, by casting their vote on www.StaplesDreamPark.com.
