Park Ridge Chamber Lifetime Achievement Award: Joseph Bredemann

The following information was submitted by the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce.

Founder of the Rotary Club of Park Ridge more than 50 years ago, Joseph Bredemann Sr. continues his membership as he has passed his legacy of community service on to his children and grandchildren.

The Bredemann family and their auto dealerships have had an immeasurable impact on Park Ridge over the decades serving as role models of business leadership in our community.

Bredemann has been a lead sponsor for the Taste of Park Ridge for many years, most recently being the headline sponsor for the main stage. Supporting many organizations in this community – including Lutheran General Hospital and Rainbow Hospice, each year he quietly underwrites the costs for the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce to host a Sunday Supper.

The dinner honoring the Community Stars will be held at Rosewood Restaurant in Rosemont on Saturday, January 25. Tickets are $75 if purchased by year end and $85 in 2014. The Chamber is also accepting donations of gift certificates and other prizes for the raffle and silent auction at the dinner.
