FRIENDS OF LANE
Be Informed. Be Involved
The Green & Gold Gala is Lane Tech's largest parent-driven, community fundraising event! Its success provides support for programs not funded by CPS, including teacher grants, modernizing Lane's aging facility, adding security upgrades to keep students safe, and supporting all e-learning and technology needs.
Join Friends of Lane for an Amazing Week to bid on exciting Auction Items featuring Dining, Vacation Homes, Parent Parties, One of a Kind Experiences, Theater, Retail and More!
DONATION/SPONSOR INFORMATION
Lane Tech College Prep is the largest public school in Chicago, ranked #5 in Illinois by U.S. News and World Report. To achieve this level of success, Lane has developed an unparalleled portfolio of challenging academic programs, skill-building STEM classes and extracurricular activities, many of which are not possible without community donations.
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 9, 2025 at Theatre on the Lake. We expect 700 people to attend, and thousands will be invited. Please support Lane Tech by donating a unique experience, item, gift certificate or cash sponsorship for the gala auction. (In kind gifts welcome.)
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 Givesmart
-
Onsite at the gala event
Sincerely,
Jodi & Monal, Donations Committee Chairs
