DISTRICT 219 EDUCATION FOUNDATION & FEAR CITY JOIN FORCES FOR A CHILLING HALLOWEEN

Raising money for students in need this October

SKOKIE, IL (OCTOBER 4-6, 11-13, 2013) – The District 219 Education Foundation for
Excellence

and Fear City have  joined forces for a hair raising event that
will chill even the bravest to the bone. 
On October 4th, Fear City will open their creaking doors at 8240 N.
Austin Avenue, Morton Grove, to help raise funds for the District 219 students
in need. 

Fear City is a
40,000 square foot warehouse nestled in Morton Grove that has been converted
into a walk through haunted attraction that is so well choreographed that even
the smallest details have not been overlooked. The horrifying journey will take
visitors through many of the famous Chicago haunts that will leave them shaking.  Not to give away Fear City secrets, but
nothing is left to the imagination for those who venture through its
doors. 

In support of D219
Education Foundation, tickets are available online and discounted to $20.00
through October 13, at which time tickets will increase to $25.00.  Fear City will donate $4.00 to the D219
Education Foundation for each ticket purchased with the redemption of a D219
& Fear City coupon, online promo code "D219" or a valid D219 /
Niles Township School ID presented at the box office (one ID per group).
Promotion only valid on the following nights: Friday October 4, Saturday
October 5, Sunday October 6, Friday October 11, Saturday October 12, or Sunday
October 13, 2013.  Not valid with any
other offer.

Since 2007, the Education
Foundation has awarded more than $120,000 in grants in the form of graphing
calculators, refurbished computers, AP testing, college entrance exams,
community college scholarship, and college campus bus tours for students who
may not have considered higher education until their visit. Approximately three
out of every ten District 219 students qualify for the Free or Reduced-Price
Lunch program, a number that has grown dramatically since the Foundation was
formed. More recently, the Foundation has also been providing school supplies
and breakfast bars for students in need.
