Promenade Parking Meter Fundraiser Nets More than $9K for BHS Classrooms

VVSD School Board President Steve Quigley and Superintendent Dr. James Mitchem accept a check for $9,429.35 from Promenade Bolingbrook General Manager Tom Castagnoli and Director of Marketing Kris Kuchler. The money will be used for classroom technology at Bolingbrook High School. Submitted by Valley View School District.

Valley View School District 365U will be able to purchase important in-classroom technology, including a large Sony 70” TV display enabled with wireless mirror casting functionality, to share digital research projects and classroom work thanks to a donation from the Promenade Bolingbrook.

The $9,429.35 donation came from a pledge by Promenade Bolingbrook officials to give the school district all of the September and October proceeds from The Promenade’s Bolingbrook’s 88 parking meters.

“Families, students and staff members are a central part of The Promenade Bolingbrook culture. Whether they’re shopping at our stores, taking part in a community event we’re hosting, or enjoying a meal, we are thankful for their continual support,” Promenade Marketing Manager Kris Kuchler when the fundraiser was launched. “We are glad we can give back to our local schools in this way.”

The Promenade Bolingbrook is located at 631 E. Boughton Road in Bolingbrook.
