In January, the Roadrunners Soccer Club hosted their eighth annual “Kickin’ Up Some Laughs Comedy Show” at the Tivoli Theatre in downtown Downers Grover.
Featuring hometown comedian Kevin Bozeman along with national headliners Chastity Washington and Joe Kilgallon, almost 900 packed the theatre for a night of laughs.
All proceeds from the event support a variety of Roadrunners Soccer Club Assistance Programs ranging from financial and travel assistance to uniform and scholarship programs. This spring, nearly 800 players will participate in the Roadrunners Soccer Club program.

![Aili Flannery’s award-winning sculpture, “Process,” was made of copper, string, copper wire, glass beads, glass, rust-stained fabric, lace, turmeric sun-printed paper, and thread. It represents “the timeline of having depression to the process of healing,” Flannery explained, and the theme is rooted in her own experiences. “‘Start’ shows up again at the end [of the piece], because I was ready to start healing and to continue living.”](https://dupagemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/26-1-DG-Scholastic-Art-Writing-Awards.jpg "26-1 DG Scholastic Art & Writing Awards")
