Our Scholars and their families are in the Lyons Township High School District 204 area outside Chicago and include towns such as La Grange, La Grange Park, Western Springs, Brookfield, Countryside, Hodgkins, Willow Springs, Indian Head Park and others. The Legacy Guild is designated as a federal 501(c)(3) charitable organization and registered with the State of IL. Our tax ID # is 46-0888441.

Thank you very much for your consideration for an auction item. We anticipate 500 in- person attendees and hope to raise $150K - $200K for scholarships (college and trade school) for students in our area who have lost a parent.  The event will take place at The Elm in downtown La Grange, IL.

All donated items will be listed in the auction section of our event site and will be promoted. In addition, tables of items will be on display at the event so it's an opportunity to promote and highlight you as well.  All items will be listed on the mobile app for non attendees to bid on as well. We will be having both a LIVE auction as well as silent auction.

Thank you for your consideration.  You can email us the certificate or mail to our address below. Thank you.
