Tom & Eddie’s Fundraiser Supports District 99 Education Foundation
For 9 days in November, from Fri. 11/4/11 through Sat. 11/11/11, Tom & Eddie’s Restaurant in Lombard will donate 10% of net sales to the District 99 Education Foundation. Grants from the Foundation directly support activities at both South & North High Schools in Downers Grove. Glenn Williams, South’s Fine Arts Department Chair, provided one such example: “The D99 Foundation was quite supportive during the recent German exchange, providing funds for the orchestra visit in the fall.”
Download a flyer with more details here.
Tom & Eddie’s is located at 348 Yorktown Center in Lombard. Students from North & South High Schools will assist with serving on both weekends. TribLocal.com posted an excellent article with more on the District 99 Education Foundation, this fundraiser, and Tom & Eddie’s Restaurant. View the article from the following link:
