For the second straight year, the ETHS Foundation is competing against the New Trier Educational Foundation in the School Spirit Showdown. This friendly fundraising competition involves the total number of donations to the respective Foundation between September 4 and October 4, the date of the varsity football game between ETHS and New Trier. 

 

“Competing against New Trier brings out the best in our entire Wildkit community,” said Sarah Schmidt, the Associate Executive Director of the ETHS Foundation. “This showdown will help fund innovative learning spaces, curriculum resources, and student assistance that expands the capabilities of our Wildkits and supports their success.” 

 

Since 2008, the ETHS Foundation has provided more than $14.5 million in grants for new and upgraded facilities, resources and programs for ETHS students. For more information about the impact of generous donor support, visit the ETHS Foundation’s website.
