The Oak Brook Butler District 53 PTO held its biggest annual fundraiser for the school district in early February at Highland Golf Club.
This year’s theme, “Hollywood Nights,” proved to be a fun and eventful fundraiser for the students and families.
The proceeds from the evening help fund field trips, technology upgrades, assemblies, school wish lists, and more.

![Aili Flannery’s award-winning sculpture, “Process,” was made of copper, string, copper wire, glass beads, glass, rust-stained fabric, lace, turmeric sun-printed paper, and thread. It represents “the timeline of having depression to the process of healing,” Flannery explained, and the theme is rooted in her own experiences. “‘Start’ shows up again at the end [of the piece], because I was ready to start healing and to continue living.”](https://dupagemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/26-1-DG-Scholastic-Art-Writing-Awards.jpg "26-1 DG Scholastic Art & Writing Awards")
