Posted March 01, 2009 10:00 pm

On Feb. 20, the School District 62 Foundation Board hosted a Benefit Dinner at Grazie! Ristorante in Des Plaines.

On behalf of the children in the District 62 schools, the Foundation Board thanks every community member, business, state and local official, teacher, and parent who supported this fundraising effort.

More than 200 individuals enjoyed a lovely dinner, outstanding musical entertainment provided by AC ROCK, a silent auction and raffles. Many thanks to all who attended and to our major donors - R.C. Wahl Jewelers of Des Plaines, the Des Plaines Education Association, the Estate of Robert Cowell, the Zicarelli Foundation (in honor of Robert Reinke), Wight & Co., Franczek Radelet & Rose, Jeanine LaCerba of Gigi's Blossoms and Baskets, and Nick Mitchell of Grazie! Ristorante and Banquets.

Thanks to your generous support, the Foundation was able to raise more than $15,000 for our mini-grant and other programs that will benefit every child in grades K-8 in the District 62 schools.

Anyone interested in more information about the Foundation can contact us at (847) 824-9556 or via e-mail at maxhub@aol.com.
