Danny McMullen from Danny Boys Corned Beef. Danny has donated over five thousand pounds of corned beef to the NWSI over the past five years. He is a quiet Teamster affiliate and owner of the Meat Factory. His friendship and desire to see the NWSI parade succeed through his contribution is to be recognized and commended. Without friends like Danny McMullen  we would not have the opportunity to fund the parade and more importantly raise awareness to the many charitable communities we have supported over the past eighth years.We have had many great supporters over the years that have assited us, they are all to be commended in recognized.  NWSI has assisted in raising funds and awareness to the following charities, Chicagoland Food Depository, Wounded Soldiers, Misericordia Heart of Mercy, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Helmets to Hardhats, Mercy Home for Boys and Girls, Pediatric Aids Foundation, Pediatric Cancer Foundation, and this 2010 the Wounded Warriors Program.
