Donors
Our Community
Without the generosity of parents, community members, and local corporations, the Spirit of 67 Foundation could not fulfill its mission. We are grateful to those who are committed to excellence in our students’ educational experiences and support their future successes.

Sponsors
Many of today’s business leaders and Lake Forest community members began their journeys in District 67 and were impacted by the support of the Spirit of 67 Foundation. We’re proud to continue that tradition and are deeply grateful when leaders choose to give back.
Our dedicated parent volunteers organize meaningful events throughout the year that bring our community together in support of District 67 students. These events create a range of sponsorship opportunities that not only benefit our schools, but also offer valuable visibility with a committed and engaged local audience.
Fulfilling the Spirit’s mission is only possible thanks to the incredible support of local retailers, corporate sponsors, and the generous donations of our District 67 families.
If you’re interested in sponsoring an event, donating to our general fund, or supporting a specific educational area, please fill out our online interest form or email us at info@spiritof67foundation.org.
Thank you to our 2024–2025 sponsors for making this work possible.

Crosstown Challenge
Will Your School Take the Lead?
The Crosstown Challenge kicked off on Monday, September 22, and the competition is on! This friendly fundraiser brings together all District 67 elementary schools and DPM to support the Spirit of 67 Foundation’s annual grants program.
Every contribution—no matter the size—helps your school move closer to victory. Participation is what matters most, and each gift counts toward your school’s total.
What’s at stake?
* A monetary bonus to support school needs, plus a $500 bonus to the school that reaches the participation goal first!
* Bragging rights across the district
* A special prize to be announced soon!
Last year, the Spirit of 67 awarded 56 grants totaling $216,785, funding innovative programs, resources, and experiences that directly benefited our students. These grants are only possible because of your generosity.
The deadline is December 31! Help your school climb the leaderboard—and make a difference for all District 67 students.
