Pass With Flying Colors (PWFC), a non-profit organization providing Chicago students from underserved communities with resources to succeed in college, hosted the first “College Dreams,” on Saturday, May 5th, at 7 p.m. at Briarwood Country Club, located at 355 Deerfield Road in Deerfield, IL. The ticket price was $75 per person, and the one hundred seventy guests in attendance raised over $48,000 which will support Chicago high school students in their journey to college success.
Pass With Flying Colors was founded in 2010 by Riverwoods residents, Kenny and Paula Goldman. “This event is what Pass With Flying Colors is all about. Helping high school students reach their college dreams and we are thrilled to be hosting a great event!” said Kenny and Paula Goldman.
The event featured drinks, dining and desserts, a silent auction, raffle and games. Grey Goose Vodka sponsored a lavish martini bar featuring signature drinks. Guests dined on tasty sliders, French fries, pasta and leavy green salads. Kaotic Drum Line provided entertainment.
Guests bid on auction items such as an autographed Derrick Rose jersey and a pair of amethyst and diamond earings and entered a raffle for a chance to win the new Pad and played Heads ‘N Tails for a chance to win a Sony PlayStation Move system.
