When Paul and Lisa Daley learned that $11,500 was all that was needed to complete the construction of a military service memorial in Carol Stream, they responded immediately by recommending a $15,000 grant from the Daley Family Fund, their donor-advised fund at the DuPage Foundation. The memorial will be unveiled this Memorial Day.
