USD 489

The Project 489 dinner and auction raised $40,000 on Nov. 3.

This included $7,800 being pledged toward the USD 489 Foundation for Educational Excellence.

Most of the $40,000 that was raised will reimburse the district for security upgrades that were made to all the district’s schools this summer. The $7,800 will go toward ongoing school projects that are funded by the foundation.

Forty-seven oral auction items and 210 silent auction items were sold.

Congratulations to the raffle prize winners: $500 Cash Raffle Winner— Bonnie Pfannenstiel; $500 Chamber Cheque Raffle Winner— Chelsey Ladd; $1,000 Cash Raffle Winner— Mike Lind; Polaris Ranger Raffle Winner— Joseph Boekner.

The foundation board said they would like to thank all of the volunteers, attendees and donors of the first Project 489 Dinner Show and Auction for making it such a success.
