Event July 20
The National Association of Professional Organizers - Chicago, Allstate Arena and Chicago Sky team up to host a free public event - Get Organized Chicago
Chicago area residents are invited to bring up to one
carload of unwanted items to the Allstate Arena, located at 6920 Mannheim Road in Rosemont, Ill., on Saturday, July
20 from 2-6 p.m. for recycling, re-use or donation to Cornerstone Community Outreach and Goodwill Industries. The multi-purpose Get Organized Chicago event is designed to be a fun way for people to de-clutter their space while properly recycling and providing usable items to the
community.

“It’s a win-win situation,” says NAPO
Chicago President Amy Trager. “Setting
a date to get rid of unused items and having a location to drop them off can
motivate people to better organize their space, while also helping the less
fortunate and the environment.” More than 50 NAPO-related volunteers will be on
hand to accept donations and assist with the event.
Everyone who donates to the event
will receive 50% off ticket prices at the Chicago Sky basketball game that night starting at 7 p.m.
