In
the past 10 years, the Boosters have raised more
than $1,100,000 (!!!) for academic, athletics and
co-curricular
programs.
Last year was another successful fund-raising
year and thanks to the on-going generosity of
families and merchants in the GW community.
Funds were disbursed to support a wide
array of academic, athletic, and co-curricular
programs at Glenbard West, and our financial grants
touch nearly every student in a positive way.
