My parents (well…really my biological parents as well as all my church families) have been long time supporters of Holy Family Lutheran Church in Chicago. It is a school for inner city children…but it costs a lot of money per year to attend and most of the students are there on scholarship. I find it so humbling that so many people in our community are able to give so much to this school and it’s mission. This was my first year to attend the Scholarship Dinner and I have to say…I can’t wait until next year. Each year a dinner/auction is held to raise money for the school and the scholarship it is able to offer. I believe that of the 35(ish) tables at the dinner our church was represented at 4 of them! That’s awesome! There are both a silent auction prior to dinner and a live auction following the meal. There was also a performance towards the end of dinner by the choir from the school as well as a few skits by the children. I didn’t end up bidding on anything at the silent auction this year but there were so many wonderful items up that I’m sure it brought in a lot of money for the school. The live auction was awesome! So many generous individuals in our community!
It was so much fun to get dressed up with my parents, aunts and uncles, and church friends for an evening of faith, fellowship, and fun! I can’t wait for next year!

Please take a minute to learn more about the school for yourself! It’s truly remarkable and the children (students) are wonderful!!! I took so many pictures with (for?) them! There were about 15-20 students from the school in attendance!!! Which makes it so much more meaningful! It was awesome to talk to some of the younger ones about school! They are truly excited to be at school!!!! YEAH!!!
