In addition to socializing and watching the Derby, the NGI awarded a $2,500 grant to
Literacy DuPage to train volunteer tutors for their Accessible and Customized Tutoring Program, which focuses on bringing one-on-one or small group tutoring to adults.
The event raised more that $12,000 for the Next Generation Initiative Endowment Fund of The DuPage Community Foundation. These funds are held in a permanent endowment for grantmaking in the future.
