District 88 invites stakeholders to attend Crosstown Classic Football Game

It’s football season, and District 88 invites all stakeholders to attend the District 88 Crosstown Classic Football Game between the Willowbrook Warriors and the Addison Trail Blazers on Sept. 27.

This year marks the 54th crosstown classic, and the teams will take to the gridiron at Willowbrook, 1250 S. Ardmore Ave. in Villa Park. This will be Willowbrook’s Homecoming game.

Just before the varsity game begins (about 7 p.m.), there will be an introduction of local community leaders, dignitaries, service groups, first responders and veterans.

For questions or more information, contact District 88 Director of Community Relations Dani Brink at dbrink@dupage88.net or 630-530-3989. The district looks forward to seeing everyone to enjoy a night of football, friendship and fun!

District 88 Foundation fundraiser

During the Crosstown Classic Football Game, those in attendance are invited to get behind the wheel for a cause.

Roesch Ford in Bensenville is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR School program to the District 88 community in an effort to raise up to $6,000 to benefit District 88 students. For every person who test-drives a new Ford vehicle on Sept. 27 at Willowbrook, Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the District 88 Foundation.

Funds raised by the District 88 Foundation have been used to support students through initiatives such as providing computers and Internet access, subsidizing Advanced Placement (AP)/college-level tests and offering mini-grants for staff to develop instructional opportunities for students. The District 88 Foundation is a member of the Partnership for Inspired Education (PIE) Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that serves public school students in District 88, Addison School District 4, District 45 and Salt Creek School District 48. For more information about the foundations, go to www.dupage88.net/foundation.

The event, which will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. near the south parking lot, will feature many vehicles from Ford’s impressive lineup. Dealership staff on-site will be able to assist and provide more information about any of the Ford vehicles available for a test-drive. To date, Ford Dealerships throughout the U.S. have helped raise more than $40 million for local schools and nonprofits, thanks to their hard work and working with the Drive 4 UR School and Drive 4 UR Community programs.

*NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. MUST BE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER WITH A VALID DRIVER’S LICENSE AND VALID AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE. Donation of $20 per valid test-drive, up to 300 total test-drives, for a maximum total donation of $6,000 per event. Limit one (1) donation per person and one (1) donation per household.
