Green and Gold Gala

2018 GREEN AND GOLD GALA

Friends of Lane

1/16

Friday, May 3rd, 2019
from 7pm to 11pm
Moonlight Studio
1446 W. Kinzie

The Green & Gold Gala is Lane Tech’s largest community fundraising event. We rely on its success to sustain the programs that distinguish our school and our students. Proceeds from the event will provide ongoing financial support of teacher grants, new PE equipment and, most importantly, investments in student programs and initiatives that are not funded by Chicago Public Schools (e.g. Maker's Lab, Robotics, Aquaponics, 1:1 Tablet Initiative, and more).

For any questions or if you would like to lend a hand, please contact : debi@aperfectevent.com

Welcome and Congratulations to Incoming New Parents.

Incoming Freshman Parents are cordially invited to attend a reception in your honor hosted by Principal Tennison from 6-7 pm before our Green and Gold Gala on April 20th with your Gala Ticket purchase.

Please click HERE to RSVP by April 15th if you can attend the reception.

LETTER FROM THE GALA COMMITTEE

Lane Tech College Prep is the largest public school in Chicago, ranked #3 in the state of Illinois by U.S. News and World Report. Our 4,000-member student body reflects the cultural and social diversity of Chicago. Lane’s accelerated 7th and 8th grade program is ranked #5 in the state by the Chicago Sun-Times, and last year our students took over 5,000 Advanced Placement exams and won 5 City championships.

To achieve this level of success, Lane has developed an unparalleled portfolio of challenging academic programs, skill-building STEM classes and extra-curricular activities, many of which are made possible through private philanthropy.

We are only as strong as our community, and we invite you to be a part of Lane’s amazing story.

To achieve this year’s fundraising goals, the annual Green and Gold Gala, an all-volunteer, parent-driven, community event will be hosted by the Friends of Lane on May 3, 2019 at Moonlight Studios. We expect 400 people to attend and thousands will be invited. Please support Lane and our 4,000 students by donating a unique experience, item or gift certificate for the gala auction.

Your generosity and business will be promoted and featured four different ways:

On social media via Lane Tech’s Facebook page, seen by over 8,000 people
Via parent newsletters and emails distributed in advance of the event
In our online auction on Bidding For Good
Onsite at the gala event
