Joliet Junior College Police Department Raises Funds for Special Olympics Illinois


 The Joliet Junior College Police Department recently held a spaghetti dinner to raise money for Special Olympics Illinois.  
Police Officer Randy Graves said he would like to thank the JJC Police Department, the entire JJC educational community, and cafeteria for their overwhelming support of Special Olympics Illinois: "During this fundraiser, we sold out of spaghetti in the first hour of the event; we then served mostaccioli; moved on to pasta shells, and finally bow tie pasta to feed our supporters. We sold more dinners during the first hour than we did in last year's entire Inaugural Event!  Thank you everyone for contributing to the success of our Special Olympics fundraiser!"
