Jaycees on Tap – Top Outstanding Young Persons Reception

Jaycees on Tap, TOYP Reception

Join the CU Jaycees in celebrating three outstanding young people from our community who excel in their chosen fields, endeavors and show great commitment to our community at the Champaign Urbana Jaycees Top Outstanding Young Person (TOYP) Reception at Collective Pour at 6 PM on Thursday, April 14th. Every year the Illinois Jaycees recognize individuals under the age of 40, who exemplify the best attributes of young people from across Illinois. Recipients come from many backgrounds, but each has made an impact on their fellow man and our community.

The CU Jaycees are proud to have two recipients as part of the 2022 class of TOYP, Xander Hazel and Michael McDonald Jr. We also are excited to be able to celebrate our 2021 class of TOYP Elizabeth Sullard. All three glowing examples from our own community are recognized for their achievements and their commitment to our community.

The CU Jaycees invite you to join us for our informal reception/social honoring our recipients at Collective Pour, 340 N Neil St #101 in Downtown Champaign on Thursday, April 14th from 6-8pm.

Appetizers will be provided, and attendees are encouraged to stop in anytime between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
