Beyond the Books Educational Foundation is pleased to report that its inaugural fundraiser, The Cook’s Tour, held April 30, raised more than $10,000. These funds will be added to the Foundation’s endowment and will be awarded as grants for Unit 5 and District 87 educators. Special thanks are given to the event’s sponsors, teacher volunteers, student performers, the McLean County Museum of History for hosting the reception, and the homeowners who opened their homes and kitchens to our tour.
