2026 Palatine Jaycees Community Grants

During her time in the Jaycees, Wendy Copeland made a point to be active and give back to the community. The Palatine Jaycees will always remember her for her hard work at multiple community projects inlcuding chairing Hometown Fest in 1994, all of her hard work in helping to create the Kathleen Blanck Memorial Carnival, and serving as President in 1995. Wendy holds the distinction of being a Life Member of the Jaycees as well as a Senator for the Illinois Jaycees. We have named our Community Grants Program after Wendy as reminder to all of us to be loud, be proud and do what you can to give back.
