On September 30^th, you may have seen some questionable outfits rolling into the Regale Center in downtown Sycamore

Don’t worry, you did not miss Halloween, the fabulous costumes you saw were actually guests of the “Totally Awesome 80’s Bash” fundraiser put on by Children’s Home + Aid and the DeKalb County Youth Service Bureau.

Guests of the event were taken down memory lane and partied like it was 1989 to the sounds of Madonna, Michael Jackson, REO Speedwagon and more. Highlights of the evening included a jaw-dropping performance by a Michael Jackson impersonator, vintage 80’s music by DJ BStarr, and a dance floor full of questionable 80’s dance moves!

Jason Nicol, Executive Director of the Youth Service Bureau, accepts a check for $100 from Sycamore High School graduate, Karsten Larson. Karsten was awarded the $100 by the Sycamore Rotary for being Student of the Month in April and decided to donate it to YSB’s VolunTEEN Program. Karsten learned about the VolunTEEN Program through her involvement with Youth Engaged in Philanthropy at the DeKalb County Community Foundation.

DeKalb County Youth Service Bureau (YSB) held its annual Spring Bike Auction and Garage Sale Fundraiser. Two hundred people braved the rain to support a good cause.

“It’s really a fun, fast-paced event that raises a lot of money to help youth and families in need of services,” – executive director Jason Nicol. “In just 90 minutes, we were able to raise over $4,000!”

Participants had plenty of opportunities to bid as there were over 100 bikes donated from the City of DeKalb, City of Sycamore, and from the community. Blue Van Moving & Storage helps transport the bikes each year.

The proceeds will go towards YSB programming, which includes counseling, 24 hour/day runaway & lockout assistance, drug and alcohol prevention, school suspension, and many more. YSB’s mission is to assist youth as they build healthy lives and relationships with their family, friends, and community.

Almburg Auctioneering donated their expertise and volunteers from Target Distribution Center and the Genoa Knights of Columbus were on hand to help with the event. Kishwaukee Community Hospital and the Daily Chronicle are the top annual sponsors of YSB.

 “It’s vital that we get youth the help that they need as early as possible. The better we do this, the greater impact on the child’s education, family life, and our community as a whole. We provide reduced-cost services to DeKalb County residents which means more people have access to the help they need. We are very thankful to all who made this event such a success!” – Jason Nicol.
