David and Donna Raye, Owners of The Goddard School in Third Lake, IL, were Co-Chairs for One Special Night for Very Special Kids. The charity event had a Disco Dance Party theme featuring the music of Libido Funk Circus and was held at Studio One in Highland Park, IL on November 5, 2022. All proceeds benefit students with multiple disabilities and complex medical needs from 3 years to 22 years of age within The Special Education District of Lake County (SEDOL).

SEDOL is developing an Innovative Lab that deploys the latest technology which will produce
amazing transformations for Special Needs Children. The goal is to level the playing field so that each student can learn and grow at their own pace. The funds raised will be used to purchase interactive tables and playground projectors, voice output switches and more.

"The SEDOL Foundation really appreciates the time and effort that Donna and David have put
into this event each year," stated Ann Subry, Director of The SEDOL Foundation, "They have created a fun evening that features great music in a perfect venue."
