Today, our guest speakers were Connor Brown and Diane Marr representing the Care Center and the DuPage Care Center Foundation.
The DuPage Care Center (formerly known as The DuPage Convalescent Center) was originally built in 1888 as the DuPage County Alms Farm to serve the indigent. Today, the facility provides Long-Term Care and Short-Term Rehabilitative Care to individuals needing support with their activities of daily living.
The Superhero Fun Run is an untimed 5K run/walk open to all ages and abilities. This run is presented by the Rotary Club of Wheaton A.M. and the Wheaton Park District. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Play for All Playground & Garden Foundation.

What is A.L.I.C.E.? It is the acronym for Alert - Lockdown - Inform - Counter - Evacuate.
A.L.I.C.E. is a method of active shooter response training designed for adoption as part of the safety programs of schools, workplaces and other communities organizations. The Wheaton Police Department provides A.L.I.C.E. training to U.S.D. 200, local businesses, and community organizations.
