Founded 134 years ago in 1889, the Holly Club of Joliet has a long tradition of raising money for those needing extra assistance in the Will County community.

From financial support for a clinic that treats people who fall short of qualifying for Medicaid and providing emergency food for struggling families to scholarships for accomplished students and providing winter coats, hats and mittens for children in need, as well as countless other calls to action, members of the Holly Club step up to help people in Will County who are in difficult or challenging circumstances, according to the website.

In 2022 for the first time ever, the Holly Club pivoted from its formal Holiday Ball to a Friday evening event called Party with a Purpose. Although more casual, this event has retained all the best features of the Holly Ball: fellowship that includes a sit-down dinner, music, dancing and a chance to give back.
