Park Forest Firefighters Local 1263 calls on residents to join them for their Disco Party Trivia fundraising event on Feb. 24., at Dining on the Green. 

This year, the union is raising money to support their internship program and Project Fire Buddies, a non-profit organization supporting critically ill children. 

The fundraiser crosses disco and trivia, and people are encouraged to dress like the '70s. Those interested can pay $120 per team of up to eight people. The price per person for smaller groups is $20. The winning team will receive $500, and $100 will go to the person with the best disco outfit. 

People can bring their drinks and a designated driver. Food is included with your table purchase, but participants can bring snacks, too. 

The last day to reserve a spot is next Wednesday, Feb. 21., or until spots are filled. 

If you'd like to participate or donate to the cause, contact Taylor Bordewyk by calling 815-210-2966 or email him at tnordewyk@vopf.com

The event starts at 6 p.m. at Dining on the Green, 349 Main Street, and trivia begins at 7 p.m.
