After more than 20 years, the playground at Villa Grove Schools has begun to show its wear. As members of the Villa Grove School Playground Fundraising Committee, we write today to ask for your financial support in building a new playground system that will serve our students for years to come.
Like all other district schools, Villa Grove has a playground on school grounds for physical education during the day and for community use outside of school hours. That’s why we are asking for your tax-deductible gift today. Your gift will help us provide a high-quality, innovative play space for our kids. To achieve our goal, your support is essential. Your donation for this fundraising drive contributes to our $75,000 goal. These dollars are budgeted for a wide range of renovations that support play and learning for our students. The district is unable to fund this project at this time, which is why your support is essential. It is quick and easy for you to make a real difference in the lives of our students.
Ways to donate:
Mailing a check to Villa Grove CUSD #302, 400 N Sycamore St Villa Grove, IL 61956. Checks may be made out to “Villa Grove CUSD #302.” Add “playground fund” in memo line.
Send a check with a student to Villa Grove Schools or drop off in the elementary office.
Donate Online - https://app.99pledges.com/fund/villagrove2
Any donation amount helps us towards our goal. It is appreciated if donations can be provided by May 15th, 2023.
Your support will bring the vision to reality. Please join us in building a new world of play for our students! With sincere gratitude,
The Villa Grove School Playground Fundraising Committee
