Trivia Night 2023

Trivia Night

Congratulations to the 2023 Trivia Night Champions “Bridgerton Ball”! The D39 Educational Foundation’s annual Trivia Night was held earlier this month and raised over $15,000!

This highly anticipated event of the year always brings out the best costume and theme competition from our community. This year did not disappoint with 20 teams competing for two top prizes! One prize is awarded to the team with the top trivia score, while the other prize goes to the Best in Show for best overall theme. This year’s Best in Show went to “Wilmette War Pigs Roller Derby”!

We hope you can join us again next year for another exciting Trivia Night to help raise money for innovative projects that expand, enrich and complement educational opportunities for the students, staff and community in our school district!

Cheers and Beers Event brought the community together for District 39 

Cheers and Beers

Cheers to a great cause! This April, The District 39 Educational Foundation hosted a Cheers & Beers event at Double Clutch Brewing Company in Evanston. Sponsored by North Shore Community Bank, this event featured live music, dancing, drinks, and hors d’oeuvres, as well as a silent auction and raffle to raise money for the Foundation’s Gripp Grants program.  Guests attended and mingled, enjoying craft brews and appetizers. The highlight of the event was entertainment by two local bands, Antler Chandelier and A.M. Slingers, who created a fantastic atmosphere and kept the crowd moving.

There was also a silent auction with popular items like concert tickets at Wrigley Field; a five night stay in Snowmass, CO; Principal for the Day Experience, and more.  The silent auction alone helped raise more than $5,000.

Overall, the event was a great success, not only in supporting the Foundation but also bringing so many community members together for a good cause. The money raised from Cheers & Beers will benefit the district’s six schools by sponsoring future Gripp Grants. These grants provide funds for innovative educational programs, experiences, and technologies that expand, enrich, and complement the schools’ curricula.
