In an incredible effort, Glenbrook South's own Dr. James Shellard hosted this telethon that raised over $105,000 from noon on Friday, November 7, 2008 until noon on Saturday, November 8, 2008. Thank you GBS Family for helping us reach our $100,000 goal.
GBS TV, under the direction of Mr. Mark Ferguson put on a professional grade show for this exceptional cause. In addition, Annie Kraus and Andrew McCarthy were the Master of Ceremonies in the Auditorium for the duration. Nancy Bloom from Youth Services also inspired us through the entire 24-hour event at GBS. She specifically shared her gratitude to students Annie Kraus and Kristin Olson for all they added to the planning team for this telethon.
Thank you to all within the GBS Family and Youth Services who helped make this dream a reality. Students painted a mural, entertained us with their musical gifts and shared their hearts as only Glenbrook South can. Faculty and staff shared the opportunities they provide students within their classrooms and beyond. Rich Winship and his amazing stage crew also created a terrific performance space throughout the entire show. Finally, thank you to all those in our outstanding community who helped give to support Youth Services. Take a look at businesses who donated food to this event to energize all involved.
