SYCAMORE – The Sycamore Rotary Club announced it raised more than $2,000 in its annual Coats for Kids project.

With an original goal of purchasing 25 coats, the club purchased 57 coats and also designed handmade Christmas tree ornaments in the shape of a coat recognizing each donor whose $30 donation bought a coat for a child in Sycamore.

The ornaments were used as decorations on the club’s entry into the Sycamore Park District community-wide competition earlier this month. The Park District received 770 total online votes in the competition and the Rotary tree garnered first place with 339 votes.

Sycamore Park District Superintendent of Recreation Theresa Tevsh presented the Rotary Club leadership with a recognition plaque, thanking the club for its strong participation in the inaugural competition.
