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 2018, the Foundation awarded over $18,000 in grants.

Red & Black Gala

Please join the Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools (FEPS) on Saturday, February 22, 2020 for its inaugural Red & Black Gala at Hazeltine National Golf Club. Doors open at 6 p.m. for a silent auction with refreshments, followed by a plated dinner, remarks from special honorees, and a keynote address by the Spielmann family. Tickets are on sale now!

This fun-filled evening will serve as our signature fundraiser for the year. Dollars raised reach Eden Prairie students of all ages and allow us to fill backpacks with essential school supplies, inspire each first grader with a storybook to call their very own, provide STEM tools to enhance 21st century learning, and provide social and emotional support for students in need. Buy your tickets today!
