Description

Friends of Amundsen is pleased to announce our annual Raise the Sails fundraiser at Ravenswood Event Center, Friday, March 10, 2023. This is our largest fundraising event, for the benefit of all Amundsen High School students, and it is attended by nearly 300 guests.


Amundsen provides students with a rigorous, authentic, and culturally rich high school experience. Our school educates nearly 1,500 students in a neighborhood program, as well as an International Baccalaureate Programme. As public schools continue to face serious budget challenges, our children experience those shortfalls firsthand. With your support, we are able to build up our students, the school’s foundation, accomplishments, and academic success. 


All proceeds from Raise the Sails directly benefit Amundsen students. This event provides a great opportunity to connect Amundsen families, administration, and staff with amazing community members and businesses like you! As a member of our community, please consider sponsoring Raise the Sails or donating an item or service for our auction. Your participation and support will be acknowledged in a variety of ways before, during, and after the event.

Friends of Amundsen is a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization
(EIN #: 46-0917735). All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. 


Our target date to receive sponsorships and auction donations is February 24, 2023.
