Friends of Burley is excited to announce our largest fundraiser of the year, our annual Spring Gala, in support of Burley Elementary School.
This year’s event will take place at Ravenswood Event Center on Friday, March 1st from 7:00 to 11:00 pm. We are expecting approximately 300 people to attend the celebration.
Fundraising efforts at this event enable FOB to meet the critical needs of Burley where Chicago Public Schools funding falls short, providing a vital source of immediately available monies to ensure Burley can continue to provide a comprehensive and supportive education to its 500+ students. Donations fund the Merit Music program for every child at Burley, as well as the 1:1 technology program, and critical staff positions.
The generosity of the Burley community is a defining characteristic of our school’s 127-year history and our spring gala's success is a shining example of this tradition. To help us meet this school year’s fundraising goal, we are asking for sponsorships from local businesses and individuals.
