You’re invited to attend the District 88 Foundation’s second annual Gathering at the Grapevine fundraiser

Pictured above are photos from the District 88 Foundation's inaugural Gathering at the Grapevine fundraiser last year. This year's event will take place on Sept. 20, and tickets are on sale now!

Looking for a fun day out that also benefits a great cause?

The District 88 Foundation invites all parents/guardians, alumni, staff, community members and friends to attend its second annual Gathering at the Grapevine fundraiser on Sept. 20! The event will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. and will feature a wine tasting, an array of charcuterie and dessert items, live music, raffle items and more. Thank you to our host, DeVine Wine and Cocktail Bar, 339 E. Kenilworth Ave. in Villa Park!

The first 50 registrations will receive a souvenir wine tumbler, and proceeds will fund mini-grants to implement innovative, teacher-led initiatives that will benefit students, which could not otherwise be funded through the district’s budget.

The foundation also invites all businesses, corporations and individuals to be part of the event. To become a sponsor, or to make a donation, complete the packet at www.dupage88.net/GatheringAtTheGrapevinePacket2025.

Last year, more than 70 people attended the fundraiser, and the event raised about $13,500. We hope to have even more success this year, and we greatly appreciate your support.
