Golden Apple Foundation to hold four fundraising events in one night

Golden Apple Foundation of Rockford is embarking on a new challenge this summer: enlisting four area school districts to compete in fundraising at four different venues, all on one night. In the past, guest bartender nights included competition between two districts at one location over a few different evenings. This year, each district will enjoy “home turf” benefits. The challenge will be spurred on by lively commentary and results via Facebook Live throughout the night.  Each group of administrators and teachers will bartend from 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, July 17. Check our events posts on Facebook to see who is tending bar for your district!

The local nonprofit encourages educators, past students, parents of students and community members to attend the fundraiser in their respective locales. Follow our social media to keep abreast of the progress.

These are the venues:

  • Rockford Public Schools District 205, Ernie’s Midtown Pub, 1025 Fifth Ave., Rockford
  • Harlem CUSD122, Jax Pub, 4160 N. Perryville Road, Loves Park
  • Belvidere CUSD100, Timberpointe Golf Club, 5750 Woodstock Road, Poplar Grove
  • Hononegah Nations, South Beloit American Legion, 14879 Dorr Road, South Beloit

There will be featured food or drink specials benefiting Golden Apple, as well as special tip jars. Cash tips are encouraged. And no one will be above wearing a dunce cap if you offer an appropriate tip! See how well these educators can shake things up and keep up with your drink orders as you catch up with friends and colleagues and support our mission.
