The D39 Educational Foundation hosted its 4th Annual College Paddle
Night on November 16th. It was a beautiful night in Wilmette – perfect
for paddle and a little friendly competition! Sixty-four participants
played in a round-robin style tournament, sporting their favorite
college-themed gear. New this year was a “party” option for those who
wanted to support the Foundation, but were unable to play. It was a
huge success! The event featured more than $5,000 in raffle prizes,
and some great food and drinks. We extend a heartfelt thank-you to our
generous sponsors, local businesses, and volunteers. College Paddle
Night raised more than $8,000, which will fund new Gripp Grants that
bring innovative educational opportunities to D39 students. Thank you
to our participants and partners for another successful and fun event!
