Who gets the fundraising profits?

FOL will get the funds however we are dedicating 50% of BIG EAT proceeds to help offset graduation activities expenses for the class of 2016.   

Why are we doing BIG EAT?  

Yes we love to bring in fundraising dollars to FOL and LACES. But we also know that we benefit whenever we build up our community.   

Many of us drop off our kid at LACES or at bus stops and in truth feel a wee bit disconnected from the community.   When our kids were in elementary school it was easy to get to know one another. It just sort of happened.   Now all our families are spread out farther and of course our kids are older and don't need as much 'hand holding.'   But at the end of the day a lot of us just wish we knew a few more people.  Or at the very least it would be nice to meet our kids' friends and their families.     

We hope that LACES Big Eat can begin to forge a new community building night and ideally we will have two Big Eats a year.  One in the spring and one in the fall.  And it would be nice to always dedicate a portion to our senior classes.   Afterall it takes a village to build a graduation class! 

Can I invite someone special like one of my kid's teacher or a staffer?  

Sure why not?  Send  a note and say, "Hey, let me treat you to dinner.  Join us at..."  

One more thing....

A lot of our high school parents are probably feeling a little removed from their almost-grown-up kid.  

Perhaps said kid is digging in and hanging out with his or her world and giving you parents a wee bit of a cold shoulder...sure, that's fine, that's what they are supposed to do.    

But why don't you push back a bit and say..."Hey, let's go out to dinner on October 22"  and you take that almost-grown-up kid and his or her buddy out to eat.   And you guys go and have a fun, cozy meal at one of the Big Eat restaurant and talk about whatever you talk about.   And then soon your kid will be out of the house in college finding their way and it will be nice for both of you to think about that warm and cozy Big Eat family dinner night way back then...when you sat at the table and talk about this and that.....

Figueroa Philly - October 22

Voted BEST EATS by LA Colliseum cbsla.com

Voted best cheesesteak by consumingla.com

Philly Cheese Steak's owner Danny Hizami opened Figueroa Philly knowing his sandwiches had to be authentic.  His Amoroso super soft rolls are shipped from Philadelphia, his sliced meat is rib eye steak and they use the perfect amount of grilled veggies--  Just like Philly!!      And if you would prefer chicken or all veggies they have those sandwiches as well!

See menu HERE

Fig Philly is an all day event.  You can come at Lunch or Dinner and 10% will come back to FOL.
If you work downtown why don't ask your co-workers if they want to join you.  Hop on the expo line and get off at Fig and walk over to the restaurant.

Or if you work at USC why don't you also invite your co-workers.     It is a fun adventure and FOL gets some proceeds!!  Remember there are lots of people who want to help public schools.  Put it out there to your friends and co-workers.  You may be surprised by the response.
