District 88 Board of Education thanks community for supporting District 88 Foundation’s second annual ‘Paddle Battle’ pickleball tournament

During its March 24 meeting, the District 88 Board of Education, along with the administration, thanked the community for supporting the District 88 Foundation’s second annual “Paddle Battle” pickleball tournament, which took place on March 1 at Willowbrook.

It truly took a village to coordinate the tournament, and the board and administration recognized those involved with planning, running and sponsoring/donating to the event.

The foundation 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. To read more, go to www.dupage88.net/PickleballRecap2025.
