After the amazing success of last year’s Social Event & Dine-Out Fundraiser at Get Air Des Plaines, we’re excited to announce that we’re bringing it back this year!

Join us for a fun-filled social event and dine-out fundraiser on Friday, October 17th, from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM!

Cost: $25 per jumper which includes pizza and soda (socks not included).

Guests can enjoy a full 2 hours of jump time as long as they arrive during the event. Pizza and soda will be served around 5:30 PM.

Best of all, $5 from each jumper (20% of the cost) will be donated to the Westgate PTA!

Please remember to bring the attached flyer to ensure the funds are allocated to our school. (There will be PTA members there with extra flyers as well)

Additionally, we are looking for 4 parent volunteers to help hand out pizza during the event. If you’re able to lend a hand, please sign up using the link below: Get Air Parent Volunteer

Thank you for helping make this event another great success - We can’t wait to see you there!
