05 Dec D51F Receives Largest Ever In-Kind Donation
Thanks to an extremely generous donation from Enstrom Candies, the D51 Foundation kicked off the holiday season by distributing thousands of boxes of Enstrom toffee to teachers and staff throughout School District 51. Delivered on pallets and carefully packed into boxes, this sweet treat reached every school and support building with the dedicated help of the D51 Foundation Ambassadors. Their support turned this major effort into a festive success. This generous gift from Enstrom Candies is the largest in-kind donation the D51 Foundation has ever received.
“We hope this small gesture brings a smile to the faces of those who dedicate themselves to our students every day,” shared Doug Simons, Jr, Co-Owner of Enstrom Candies.
“We want to sincerely thank Enstroms for their very generous donation of 3,500 1lb. boxes of their delicious toffee for teachers and staff members across School District 51. Anyone who knows the Simons family, knows how generous they have been to the children and teachers in our community for years and years. Doug Simons, Jr. served on our Board of Directors for the past six years, and now his wife Shannon has joined our board. They are true champions for the D51 Foundation,” noted Angela Christensen, D51 Foundation Executive Director.
