Annual Events & Fundraisers

Our events are one of the most important (and most fun!) ways that we raise funds to support the students of Eden Prairie. Join us at one of our upcoming events and connect with friends and neighbors while knowing you will be supporting a good cause at the same time.

If you represent a business or organization, you might consider sponsoring one of these great programs as well. Please contact Lisa Sisinni, executive director, to learn more. We always also need volunteers for these events!

The Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools hosts the following annual fundraisers. Proceeds from these events provide funding to our annual grants. In 2024, the Foundation awarded over $150,000 in grants.

Eagle Excellence Showcase

Eagle Excellence Showcase is being held on Saturday, October 4, 2025 • 5:30 – 9:30 pm, at the Eden Prairie Schools – Valley View Campus

This Fall, our signature fundraising event is getting a bold new look. The Red and Black Gala is evolving into the Eagle Excellence Showcase — an evening dedicated to celebrating all that makes Eden Prairie Schools exceptional. On Saturday, October 4, during Homecoming Weekend, FEPS’ new home at 11840 Valley View Road will be transformed into a stunning event space. Set in the beautiful solarium, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Bryant Lake, the atmosphere is sure to captivate both longtime supporters and first-time guests.

Highlights of the evening include the induction of the inaugural Eden Prairie Hall of Fame class, the presentation of the 2025 FEPS Legacy Awards, inspiring stories from across the district, and live music from Too Darn Hot. This reimagined event, created in partnership with Eden Prairie Schools, will continue to reflect and celebrate the spirit of excellence that defines Eden Prairie Schools.
