In 2016-17, The ABC/25 Foundation will raise money through four key fundraisers: Membership Drive, Product Sales (i.e. Yankee Candle), In-School Drawings/Programs, and the Just Move It! Challenge. ABC/25 Foundation Funding Guide

Membership Drive

ABC/25 Foundation annual membership remain the primary source of funding for our various grants and programs. Each year, The Foundation grants $2500 to all District 25 schools when 25% of the school’s families become members.  Become a member by donating $40 or more. District Staff may join at an Educator’s rate of $25 or more. One membership is counted towards all District 25 schools children in one family attend. Become a member today!

In-School Drawings/Programs

Each year, each school in District 25 either holds an in-school drawing or an event to raise money for teacher grants. In-school drawings may include tickets for items like open gym at a Middle School, gardening with a teacher, reserved parking for school events. Programs may include a school dance or other event. Please support these activities at your school.

Just Move It! Challenge…Bringing our D25 community together!

In 2016, the Just Move it! Challenge raised almost $18,000! There were over 900 participants in attendance representing 9 schools in which over half of the runners were students. The event consists of a 5k run/walk through the surrounding neighborhood of South Middle School and a shorter, 1 mile course that enables even our youngest athletes to join the fun. Games, music and food are part of the finish line celebration in this great community building event.
