The LEARN Benefit Concert and Field Day boards are teaming up to deliver an unforgettable evening of incredible music followed by a rewarding day of community volunteering!

**All proceeds benefit LEARN Charter School Network* scholars so they may enjoy high quality music education & a celebratory end-of-school-year Field Day event.**

*LEARN is a network of tuition-free, high performing college prep public elementary schools open to all.

The legacy of the LEARN Benefit Concert, inspired and founded by New Trier graduate, Emilia Suljic in 2011 has enabled North County youth to make a long and lasting impact on LEARN scholars for 14 years. Research shows that both attendance and graduation rates improve with access to music education. Each year, funds raised at the Benefit Concert provide a thriving music program and drumline for K-6th grade LEARN scholars.

The Benefit Concert, hosts a wonderful raffle with fun and exciting prizes from local businesses, so don't forget to purchase your RAFFLE TICKETS for a chance to win!

New Trier High School and North Shore Country Day students have also fundraised and volunteered to host a Field Day event for LEARN for over a decade. This year we are continuing to collaborate to bring both of these amazing events to LEARN scholars. Your contributions support bouncy houses, Field Day 2025 branded water bottles for students, bus transportation, lunch, frozen popsicles, art supplies, and fun relay activities for 400 K-6th grade LEARN Excel scholars. Join us on Thursday, June 5th, 2025, for a wonderful day of games, art, and relay races at Fox Meadow Fields Park!

Thank you for your support to proivde student enrichment programs which are essential to LEARN's mission to provide children with the academic foundation and ambition to earn a college degree.

The Benefit Concert will be held at the Kenilworth Union Church on Saturday, May 24th at 5pm.

Thanks to the efforts of Emilia and the Co-Chairs that followed, including this year's co-chairs Maddy Jorgenson, Jorie Collins, Tessa Gardiner, Jack Porter, and Nate Gale. LEARN scholars are being exposed to music, something that the LEARN board of directors and those performing value immensely.

Thank you to the Field Day Co-Chairs Payton Beider, Ilana Styles, Scarlett Harper, Ella Tag, and Nate Gale for planning and organizing the event this year.

Let's support LEARN scholars!
