ANNUAL REPORT

Every student in every school, every day!

ABOUT US

The Spirit of 67 Foundation is the only organization authorized to raise funds for the Lake Forest

School District 67 and is dedicated to providing curriculum and resources that enrich and

enhance the educational experiences in Lake Forest’s elementary and middle schools. We

currently raise approximately a third of our annual revenues through family donations. Local

businesses, corporations and community members support us through donations, matching gift

programs, partnerships and event sponsorships. We host two major fundraising events each

year. These events provide fun and entertaining ways for families and our community to

support the Spirit, making a difference in the lives of every student in every school, every day!

OUR MISSION

The Spirit of 67 Foundation is dedicated to raising funds and acquiring resources

to provide enriching educational and cultural experiences for the students,

parents, faculty and staff of the Lake Forest School District 67 that might not

otherwise be provided.
