Teen Advisory Board Presents Crosstown Classic Fundraiser
On Saturday, Dec. 1, the Teen Advisory Board presents a special Crosstown Event with the theme of One Night, One Town, One Cause. The evening is open to all students at Palatine and Fremd High Schools and will include a 3 v 3 basketball tournament, dodgeball, concessions, music, crafts, games, prizes and much more. Proceeds from the event will support programs of Partners for Our Communities.
The Crosstown Event will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. at Palatine Park District's Community Center, 250 E. Wood Street, Palatine. The fee is $10 for pre-registered students and $15 at the door. The entry fee includes a T-shirt and activities. All students must have a registration form signed by a parent or guardian.
There are three ways to register:
• To register online visit palatineparks.org, select register online, and then special events
• To register at school visit the cashier at either school during lunch hours only. School registration is cash only with a student ID. Registration forms are available at the cashier window - take home, fill out, and bring back signed by parent/guardian with money.
• Register in person at any Palatine Park District facility (Birchwood, Community or Falcon Park). Parent/guardian signature required at time of registration.
The Teen Advisory Board was created in 2016, to help unite high school students from Palatine High School and Fremd High School to work together as one in the Palatine community. The group has evolved to meet the community's needs and the mission of the Teen Advisory Board is to create a bridge between the local community and District 211 schools.
The objectives of Teen Advisory Board include:
• Serving as liaison between Partners for Our Communities (POC) and Palatine and Fremd High Schools
• Identifying and prioritizing the needs of the local community
• Planning service projects
• Collaborating across all high school activity groups to maximize efforts

Since 1999, Partners for Our Communities has welcomed and introduced families and individuals in need to the Palatine community. Partners for Our Communities connects people with local resources and provides a pathway for their integration and success. We are dedicated to helping people help themselves through a variety of programs and services. In early 2015 the Partners for Our Communities board of directors voted to share its programs with neighboring communities.
This event is sponsored by Palatine Park District. The mission of Palatine Park District is to provide a variety of safe, enjoyable, and affordable parks, programs, and recreational facilities that will enhance the quality of life by promoting good health and well-being for all residents and visitors while being fiscally responsible stewards of community assets and tax dollars.
