The Solly’s Way Foundation was founded by the DeLaurentis family in 2013 after the unexpected loss of their husband and father, Solly DeLaurentis. Since its founding, the Solly’s Way Foundation has granted scholarships to 39 high school students in the Northwest Suburbs to help relieve the financial burden of higher education.

Since last year, the Solly's Way Foundation has granted three $5,000 scholarships and two $10,000 scholarships to local high school graduates in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.

On August 5th at Pinstripes South Barrington, the organization will be hosting a fundraising event featuring live music, raffles, socializing, craft cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres while raising money to support local students.
