The 2019-2020 year was off to a great start, but due unanticipated changes to the end of our school year including the fact that we’ve had to cancel Walkathon and Grandparents day (our main events where we reach out to our larger community), we are $60,000 away from our financial goal - a goal that is set based on the real needs of Burley school. Funds raised by FOB cover the difference between what CPS provides and what it actually costs to make Burley a well-rounded and challenging academic experience. They pay for books and technology, the accredited Merit Music program and supplemental and essential staffing to keep our students challenged, engaged and safe each and every day (over 60% of our fundraising goes to staffing.) Your donations pay for real things.

WE ARE FRIENDS OF BURLEY
We plan fundraisers. We run the Annual Fund. We ask the neighborhood for support. We partner with local and national businesses. We are an all volunteer group of parents with serious expertise in having fun and serious heart for the work that goes on within these four walls every day. We work together with the Burley School administration to set fundraising goals. Then we raise the funds. Then the Burley School administration spends the funds to make Burley School the incredible resource it is for every child in our community.
Donations to Friends of Burley helped build the community park with its turf field, garden, and track. They fund the esteemed Merit Music program that gives music to every child at Burley. They fund staff positions without which Burley School simply would not be the place it is today. We are Friends of Burley and together, with your help, we Raise Up the funds that Raise Up Burley School.
