Thanks so much to all who attended and took part in the fun and games at Tuesday’s LEAGUE kickoff!  What a great day for our students with gifts and pledges of support totaling more than $36,000 so far!  On behalf of students like Tess Tyler – a scholarship recipient – who spoke at the luncheon, thank you for all you do for our students and for your very generous support.

Stop by the Foundation by 5 p.m. this Friday, to sign up for the campaign and your name will be entered into a drawing for $150 in cash!  And, if you sign up for payroll deduction, you’ll be eligible for another $150 cash prize at the end of the campaign.

You can still purchase 50/50 tickets for a chance to win cash (approximately $150 so far) or a Weber portable gas grill (valued at $200) along with an Illinois State Fair Pork Package (valued at $100).  Tickets are $1 each, $5 for 6, or $10 for 18 and will be available through Friday, April 8.
