RAVINIA DISTRICT SUPPORTS HIGHLAND PARK HIGH SCHOOL CHARITY DRIVE

RAVINIA DISTRICT, HIGHLAND PARK, IL (FEBRUARY 4, 2016) – Ravinia District is excited to support Highland Park High School Charity Drive with district-wide specials and promotions on Thursday, February 4th, to raise funds for College Bound Opportunities, an organization that finds educational opportunities for under-resourced students on the North Shore of Chicago.

Each year, during the month of February, local businesses offer promotions as a means to further support Highland Park High School’s mission of giving back. Ten Ravinia District businesses have designated February 4th to collectively offer their support to the High School’s Charity Drive on this designated day.

“The Ravinia Business District is made up primarily of business owners who live in and around Highland Park and we like to give back and show our support for the High School and the many local families that patronize our businesses on a regular basis,” said Aimee Krupp, owner of Principessa Chidlren’s Boutique. “And as a ‘Giant’ family, of course we are going to participate!”
