In addition, tickets will be available for purchase at the Market Day pick-up days of the following schools: Jackson Elementary on February 27, 3:15 - 4:30 p.m. and Liberty Elementary on February 28, 4:30 - 5:30 p.m.

Sales will occur one-half hour before the start of the play and during intermission.

If unable to purchase tickets at these locations, you may request an order form by contacting the Foundation at 983-3715 or foundation@duneland.k12.in.us

In addition, forms will be available at all schools within the Duneland School Corporation and St. Patrick School. If you would like to share the $10,000 Scholarship opportunity with family and friends who live outside the Duneland community, you are welcome to forward order forms via mail or email. The Foundation can also forward information if requested.

Because of the tremendous community support of the Foundation’s annual fundraising efforts, many enrichment programs have been made available to all non-profit schools in the Duneland community.

Each ticket purchased will not only provide the opportunity for one person to win the $10,000 scholarship, but it will also enable the Foundation to continue its mission of empowering excellence in education.
