Saturday Parking Fees Purchased Online for Chicago’s Millennium Garages to Benefit Local Residents

 

 

Largest U.S. Underground Parking System Launches Park4Purpose Program, Donating Portion of 2017 Saturday Proceeds to Inspiration Corporation

 

 

CHICAGO, Jan. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SP Plus Corporation (SP+), (Nasdaq:SP), one of the nation’s leading providers of parking management services and the operator of Millennium Garages in downtown Chicago, announces the Park4Purpose program created to benefit the Chicago community. Under Park4Purpose, Millennium Garages will work with local charities and community organizations to provide support to help those in need improve their lives.

Park4Purpose’s first charitable endeavor is its Inspiration Saturdays program, where Millennium Garages is donating a percentage of the fees from Saturday daily parking purchased online at www.millenniumgarages.com to Inspiration Corporation. Donations will help people who need assistance paying the costs of various documents and licenses required to work toward their employment goals.

“The one-time fees to obtain birth certificates, identifications, GED testing, professional licenses and certifications can be a serious financial obstacle to people trying to overcome homelessness and poverty,” stated Shannon Stewart, Executive Director and CEO of Inspiration Corporation.

Kim Hyla, Marketing Manager at Millennium Garages said, “We were looking for a way to invest in the Chicago community. We chose Inspiration Corporation because they reach residents who are really trying to improve their lives and just need a little help.”

The Inspiration Saturdays program at Millennium Garages continues for Saturday parking purchased online throughout 2017. More information is available at www.park4purpose.com.
