To the Irving Community and all of Oak Park/River Forest

We are pleased to announce our fundraising totals from two separate events that many of you participated in:  Culvers/Seopco and Whole Foods Market 5% Day.

Culvers donated 10% of profits (when ISP was mentioned) throughout the month of October to SEOPCO, who graciously donated the proceeds to the Irving Schoolyard Project.  We raised $340!

Whole Foods Market in River Forest donated 5% of all sales from November 1, and we raised $4,590!  Our grand total donated to the Irving Schoolyard Project through your participation and the generosity of Culvers, SEOPCO, and Whole Foods Market was $4,930!!

We want to say THANK YOU to all of you who participated.  Thank you to the District 97 Teachers and Staff who helped with the Scavenger Hunt at Whole Foods Market.  And of course we wish to say THANK YOU to Culver’s, SEOPCO, and Whole Foods Market for their kind donations to help our children get a safe schoolyard on which to play, run, and learn.
