District 88 students participate in Relay For Life of District 88 All Youth

On March 15, about 300 students participated in this year’s Relay For Life of District 88 All Youth.

The event took place at Willowbrook and raised more than $50,000 for the American Cancer Society. The team Making H15tory raised more than $8,000, which was the highest amount raised by a team this year.

That total does not include funds raised from Facial Hair February (where 27 male staff members at Willowbrook put down their razors for the month of February to raise money for Relay) or the Brook Olympics (where classes go head to head in a weeklong series of events and challenges to help initiate tradition and a sense of class spirit and pride at Willowbrook). The Brook Olympics have been rescheduled for May 19 through 23.

Totals from Facial Hair February and the Brook Olympics will be shared as soon as they’re known. Donations are still being accepted and can be sent to Willowbrook, 1250 S. Ardmore Ave. Villa Park, IL 60181, c/o Kate Wilson.
