Naperville Jaycees seek volunteers for the 2023 Last Fling

Each year, over the four days of Labor Day Weekend, the Naperville Jaycees host the Last Fling, a festival attended by tens of thousands of locals and visitors alike.

This year, the organization is focusing more than ever on the importance of community.

With that spirit, the Jaycees invite you, your organization, or your business to get in on the action as a volunteer for the Sept. 1-4 event.

Beverage and food tent workers, ID check, signage, and grillers are some of the volunteer opportunities still available.

Additionally, volunteering at the Last Fling is unlike any other opportunity of its kind. Not only will you spend time with family, friends or coworkers to make memories but your time, 4-5 hour shifts, will make an incredible difference for the community.

Did you know volunteers are able to sign up as a representative for a 501(c)3 organization; earning $7 an hour per volunteer for that group. Some organizations which may qualify are athletic teams, scout troops, and nonprofits.

Dani Story, Jaycees chapter president, said, "The Last Fling brings together families and neighbors to enjoy music, food and to make memories while supporting the community."

For many Jaycees, volunteering at the Last Fling is something they look forward to each year.
