A volunteer group working to upgrade outdoor recreation activities will hold a fundraising telethon on Romeoville Public Access Television Saturday .

The Fields Project began a year and a half ago and already has resulted in several upgrades, including basketball and sand volleyball courts, improved baseball fields, project leader Jackie Esquivel said this week.

The next goal is to raise $25,000 by March 1 to fund a walking and jogging trail, Esquivel told the Romeoville Village Board, which passed a resolution proclaiming Saturday Make a Difference Day in Romeoville.

The telethon will be held 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. People who wish to volunteer their services can call 815-886-2700.
