Volunteers Will 'Egg' Your Yard For Donations To Charity

FRANKFORT, IL — A nonprofit aimed at supporting children with cancer and their families is offering a chance for local parents to give their kids a little Easter egg hunt fun, with a little help.

The Finley Forever Foundation, which focuses on providing hope, support, and financial assistance to local Chicago area families affected by cancer, is holding an "Egg My Yard" fundraiser. Volunteers are ready to plant plastic Easter eggs in the yards of families in Frankfort, Mokena, New Lenox, and Manhattan.

The Finley Forever Foundation was started in 2021 by bereaved parents Dan and Lacey Bracken, after the death of their 2-year-old daughter Finley less than a year after she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma.

"Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of young patients and provide their families with the care they need," the founders wrote on the organization's website.

The "Egg My Yard" fundraiser will hide 30, 45, or 60 eggs in the yards of those participating. The cost is 30 eggs for $25, 45 eggs for $35, and 60 eggs for $45. Orders should be placed online. Spots are limited, and the deadline to order is Sunday, March 24 at 9 p.m. All proceeds will go to the Finley Forever Foundation.

"Your little bunnies will jump for joy when they get to kickstart their day with a thrilling egg hunt! Let us do the work for you and the Easter Bunny!"
