Funds raised will go toward the School District of Elmbrook’s Music Curriculum. The school district offers band and orchestra beginning in 4th grade and supports individual student development with small group lessons through 8th grade. Funds will also be used to replace large instruments too big to carry home and/or too expensive to rent, as well as instruments for students without the means to rent on their own.

Kelly Ebbole, chair, Ladies’ Night 2020, said, “Adapt. Support. Celebrate. This year, more than ever, it’s important to adapt to our ever-changing world, support our community, and celebrate the students of Elmbrook School District. Participate in as many events as your schedule allows, and a portion of the proceeds spent at each establishment will benefit the EEF.”

EEF was organized in 1958 to award scholarships to select Elmbrook School District high school graduates. In 1999, the Foundation's mission expanded to include teacher grants for innovative projects that benefit all students and raise money to support and strengthen outstanding learning ideas that improve the overall educational quality of our public schools. EEF has awarded over $1,300,000 in scholarships and $425,000 in grants which enhance and extend the established curriculum and support projects that are beyond the District's budget.
