ALSIP MAYOR AND LOCAL BUSINESS “PAY IT FORWARD” FOR SPECIAL NEEDS

Alsip, IL, January 2021 – South West Special Recreation Association (SWSRA) rang in the new year with a generous donation from the Mayor of Alsip, John Ryan. The Mayor's office received a check for $500 from local business BP Circle K in Alsip (12230 S. Cicero Ave.) Owners Dipak Byatt and Mayur Patel wanted to give back to the community and asked the Mayor to designate the donation to a local charity in need. He chose to “pay it forward” to SWSRA. SWSRA’s first phone call of the new year came from Administrative Assistant to the Mayor, Becky Smith, who delivered the good news and stated, “SWSRA is such an amazing organization that does so much for so many individuals with disabilities and special needs and has always been there to help out with the Village functions.” Mayor John Ryan added, “We are so grateful for SWSRA’s service to our most precious residents and are blessed to have such a great business community that cares about the welfare of others especially during these hard times.”

SWSRA accepted the donation and is "Thankful beyond words" and will use this donation to continue virtual programs and help our participants have fun while safe-at-home.
