We’d like to extend our gratitude to our Bronze level sponsors ($250 each): Galter Life Center, Swedish Covenant Hospital and Lincoln Square Athletic Club**. Additionally, we appreciate the in-kind donations from The Field Museum (Behind the Scenes Tour), Target (gift cards), White Sox (tickets), Harvest Time (bananas), Traders Joe's (watermelons) and On the Route Bicycle shop (gift cards). We're grateful for each of the parent volunteers who braved the weather to help last Friday and to those who donated or solicited prizes. A big shout out to Leah Rieger (online pledge site master) and Rick Bolliger (excel spread sheet master), Martyniuk Family (Cubs tickets), Ginevra Ranney/Jill Gershune (prize solicitors), Karen Nevotti/Vanesa Summer (volunteer master coordinators), Molly O’Keefe (copy/sign master), Sarah Graff/Mila Rascon (fruit pick up and delivery), Kortney Moore/Cookie Silvia (communications), Jill Brown Smith, and Master DJ Josh Chicoine. This event would not be possible without each of you – and many other parent volunteers who cut up the delicious fruit and cheered on our students. THANK YOU!
Finally, thanks to Mr. Kurz and the Waters administration for their flexibility in adapting to the changing weather conditions. We're grateful that Mother Nature ultimately cooperated and the kids had the opportunity to get outside, stretch their legs, and enjoy time exercising with friends. Go Wildcats!
