The 2019-20 school year marks Puffer-Hefty PTA’s 90th year of providing funds and services to children at Henry Puffer Elementary School in Downers Grove, Illinois.

Henry Puffer, located in northwest Downers Grove, is a Title 1 school currently serving nearly 400 Pre-K-6 students with various physical, social, and academic needs.  Additionally, our school is one of the District 58 sites that houses the highly recognized Grove Children’s Preschool. This program provides support for students with special needs, students identified as at-risk for future academic success due to economic factors, and typically developing children. 

We come to you with a donation request for our annual Spring Fundraiser we are hosting on March 14, 2020 at The American Legion, Post 80 located at 4000 Saratoga Ave, Downers Grove, IL 60515. Event will include silent auctions, live auctions and raffles.  In past years we have been able to raise up to $30,000 for our kids and are hoping to exceed that this year with your help. Included in our projects this year: 

Health and wellness initiatives, including our all-school “Lung Run”
Several student enrichment activities such as field trips, assemblies, Talent Show, Field Day and Author Fest
Library, technology and teacher enrichment
High school senior scholarships to Henry Puffer alumni
We would greatly appreciate any donation you are able to provide whether it be monetary, sponsorship, gift certificates, or any other in-kind donation.  All proceeds will go directly back to our school to benefit our students.  

We thank you for your consideration! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have about our non-profit organization our event.
