Thank you for your support of the District 88 Foundation’s second annual “Paddle Battle” pickleball tournament, which took place on March 1 at Willowbrook High School!

  • We had a wonderful turnout and filled the tournament with 54 players.

  • The event raised about $7,300, which will benefit District 88 students through mini-grants for staff to develop instructional initiatives and innovations.
