Sponsors & Volunteers: Helping the Downtown Tinley Park Community
One of the best things about Downtown Tinley Park is all of the great events and activities going on all the time. Organizing each event takes many wonderful dedicated volunteers and sponsors. If you are already a volunteer, we want to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for everything you do. Our volunteers are the foundation of our community and we are deeply grateful for the time, effort and financial support you provide to make Downtown Tinley Park a premier destination for local residents as well as visitors from all over Chicagoland.
We know that you love to volunteer or provide sponsorship but don't always know when help is needed. If you are a Downtown Tinley business owner you receive a monthly email linking to an overview of upcoming events and what is needed. Below is a complete list of all events and activities along with volunteer and sponsorship information. Questions?
