Danville Public School Foundation meets with Danville Lions Club
As a board member of the Danville Public School Foundation, Danville Lion Dr. David Fields hosted a meeting of the Danville Lions Club by introducing Danville Public School Foundation Executive Director Bob Richard and Co-Director Stephanie Yates.
Directors Richard and Yates updated Lions members about their work supporting the District 118 schools. Richard thanked the Danville Lions for their annual donations since 2021 to the Foundation's 365 Club. The 365 Club is their primary fundraiser each year where members pledge to provide at least $1 per day in support of the Foundation's mission. More information is available at
The mission of the Danville Public School Foundation is to promote, aid, and encourage enhanced educational opportunities for the students of Danville Public Schools beyond those provided through tax dollars.
They provide creative, inspiring, and fun learning experiences in support of the curriculum, which offers students opportunities to expand their knowledge or understanding of a subject and pilot innovative educational opportunities.
The foundation also provides schoolwide educational assemblies to enrich students' learning experience, funds projects in partnership with District 118 consistent with the guidelines, and through an online classroom endowment request process, they make it easy for teachers to dream big for their students by sending their innovative ideas to DPSF.
The Foundation is not tax supported. Donations for individuals, businesses, and foundations provide funding for the Foundation to continue its mission. The Danville Public School Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors of 15 community volunteers. The Foundation operates independently of Danville Community Consolidated District 118; however, Foundation funds are used to support the students attending Danville Public Schools.
The Foundation invited donors to celebrate at the 365 Club Breakfast April 17, at 8 a.m. at Turtle Run Banquet Center, 332 East Liberty Lane. For information or to attend the 365 Club Breakfast, RSVP to Stephanie Yates at yatess@
