Students who solicit donations walk laps around the school on the day of the event which includes music and a fun atmosphere according to Pacholski.
Funds raised by the Foundation provide financing for items that may be beyond the means of conventional public school funding. In 2021, the Foundation donated $30,000 to Palos 118 to purchase new interactive displays for all of the District’s first grade classrooms. To date the Foundation has donated nearly $556,000 to Palos School District 118.
