  2. Roots and Wings (click here for more information)

  3. The Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation (click here for more information).

The Christopher Lyons Memorial Fund received the most votes!

On June 2nd, we dropped off the donation ($6,700.00) to GlenOaks Hospital Foundation/Chris Lyons Memorial Fund. We toured the school and learned a great deal about the school, staff and programs. it truly amazing the length of time some of the staff have been employed. There is so often a lot of turn over at schools and it is a testament to the program and administration. What a worthwhile cause!

In addition, The Schulze Family Foundation has matched our donation (1/2 or our total donation), so this organization received an additional $3300 !!! Thank you Peggi D’Angelo for finding this this generous foundation!
