The Naperville Jaycees recently named Edward Hospital Frontline Workers as the grand marshal of the 2021 Labor Day parade presented by the City government of Naperville and the Naperville Jaycees.
“We are proud and honored that our Edward Hospital frontline workers, who have worked tirelessly through the pandemic to keep all those affected safe and in good health, will lead the Labor Day parade,” said 2021 Last Fling co-chair Pete Paulsen. “Without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today in our great community.”
“We thank the Naperville Jaycees for the opportunity to serve as the grand marshal of this year’s Labor Day Parade,” said Joe Dant, president & CEO, Edward Hospital. “We truly appreciate the recognition of the staff’s efforts and are honored to have played such a critical role in caring for our community during the pandemic.”
