Dear Fellow District 57 Parents,

Next week, our newsletter will be sent out with a lot of information on how to get involved with Lights, Camera, Auction!. In the mean time, we are coordinating the donation effort and we need some help. Here are 4 ways that you can make a difference with little effort:

1. Donate a gift card - if you got one for the holidays that you won't use (regifting is FINE with us!!) or want to buy one to donate, we can use about 120 more. (You can send donations to Lisa Miller: 115 S WaPella or to Tricia Fusilero: 201 E. Lonnquist)
   • gas cards
     
   • restaurants
     
   • shops
     
   • grocery stores
     
   • ANYTHING in any denomination!!
     
2. Send in your raffle tickets - they are $10/ticket. To give away the $10,000 Dream Vacation or the $10,000 cash, we need to sell about 850 more tickets. (Send the raffle tickets to: Cindy Regan at 16 Millers Lane, Mount Prospect)
   
3. Buy a Walk of Fame Star - you can put your family's name on it or you can honor a teacher, staff member, bus driver or coach by purchasing one in their honor. $25 each. (Contact Doug Trezise if you want to get a star: doug.trezise@57edfoundation.org or do it online through our sponsor page)
   
4. Make a cash donation on your own or with a group (neighbors, book club friends, bunco group, etc.)! We have some great donations that need some "extras" added to it to make it even better. With cash donations, we can purchase those items to make the basket just right.

Pass this on to friends and neighbors. If you have any questions, email or call Tricia Fusilero at 847-721-6726. If you would like to help in other ways, let us know too! Six weeks to the gala and counting! We hope you plan to join us for the event - it is going to be AMAZING!

Thanks,

The District 57 Education Foundation
