The Governor’s Restore Illinois Plan restricts gatherings in excess of 50 people until Phase 5. As a result, a number of our upcoming community events have been cancelled.

The Commission encourages residents to consider making a donation at the Vitalant Blood Donation Center on Golf Road in Schaumburg. Donors must call ahead for an appointment, and must wear a mask in order to promote social distancing.
The Plan also restricts the use of park facilities and community festivals until Phase 5. As a result, the Village cancelled its 4th of July Fireworks display.
