Transportation for the tour is provided. A complimentary drink at the reception is also included. Attendee check-in and parking is at Dunham Woods Riding Club on the corner of Army Trail Road and Dunham Road in Wayne.

All proceeds from this fundraising event will benefit six local service agencies: Bridge Communities (Transitional Housing); Community Crisis Center; Fox Valley Hands of Hope; Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans; Neighborhood Food Pantries; and Renz Addiction Counseling Center.

The Wayne Walk honorary chairpersons are Andrea and Bill Ferguson, and Carol and Doug Hancock. Both couples are long-time residents of the Wayne community, and active members of Little Home Church, the Wayne-DuPage Hunt, and Dunham Woods Riding Club.

"This community fundraiser is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to support these six important service agencies, and enjoy some of the best Wayne has to offer," says Carol Hancock. And Andrea Ferguson describes Wayne as having, "unique characteristics of history and charm in a beautiful country setting that has endured much of the change we see all around us."
