Park Ridge Community Star: Sheri Roche

Information submitted by the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce.

Sheri Roche is a person that every organization would love to have on their board.

A retired special education teacher for Park Ridge-Niles District 64, she has participated in every event that the Park Ridge Community Fund has hosted, chairing many of them. She not only donates her time to the community, she regularly provides gifts and donations for the various raffles we have throughout the year.

Sheri is a great idea person who always follows through on her thoughts. She is also well known as a ‘people person’ who works great with others and can deal with any situation. Chaired and coordinated by Sheri, the Harry O’Brien Community Run has grown larger every year and would not happen if not for her efforts and passion.
