Grab your friends and head to Downtown Downers Grove on Thursday, September 24, for Ladies Day &amp; Night Out: Schools Just Wanna Have Funds, a full day of shopping, dining and fun with the bonus of supporting local elementary school PTAs!
Throughout the day and evening, 30 participating Downtown Downers Grove businesses will offer specials, promotions, live music, fun and more. Shoppers and diners can turn in a Hall Pass with their purchases, and participating businesses will donate 10% of each Hall Pass purchase to Downers Grove elementary school PTAs.
The donations will be divided evenly among participating schools, but there’s a little friendly competition, too!
The school with the highest attendance will receive an additional $250 donation, while the second- and third-place schools will each receive $100 in Downtown Downers Grove Gift Cards.
Every person counts toward attendance, and every qualifying purchase helps increase the donation. Participants are encouraged to invite friends, grandparents, spouses, neighbors and anyone else who wants to enjoy a day &amp; evening downtown while supporting local schools.
This event is a great example of what supporting local is all about. You are supporting our downtown businesses while those businesses, in turn, are giving back to our local schools. It’s a fun day with a real community impact.
Participants should remember to turn in a Hall Pass with each purchase to ensure the purchase counts toward the fundraiser and their school’s attendance.
Whether stopping downtown for lunch, meeting friends for shopping, enjoying dinner or making an entire day of it, Ladies Day &amp; Night Out: Schools Just Wanna Have Funds offers plenty of reasons to shop, dine and explore Downtown Downers Grove.
For participating businesses, Hall Passes and additional event information, visit downtowndg.org.
