Showcase 2024, Imagine and Inspire, took place in early February at Medinah Country Club. The fundraising gala supports Foundation 205’s mission to ensure all Elmhurst Public School students have access to innovation and opportunities for educational excellence.

This year, Deirdre Churchill was the recipient of the Friend of the Foundation Award for her seven-year tenure on the Board of Directors and her lasting legacy and impact on the organization.
