There also will be drawings, giveaways, a 50/50 raffle and door prizes. All funds raised will benefit the Joliet Area Community Hospice.

The CAWGC was founded in 1933 as the Joliet Contractors' Association. In 1961 the name was changed to reflect the larger geographic region it represented — the Will County Contractors Association. In 1974 the association became the Contractors Association of Will and Grundy Counties when it was merged with the Grundy County Contractors Association.

The CAWGC has more than 200 members and has been the voice of the commercial, industrial and institutional construction industry for eight decades.
