Morton 201 Foundation Online Auction

As a result of COVID-19 and the mandates regarding social distancing and limits on group gatherings, the Morton 201 Foundation will not be able to host its Dinner & Theatre Night fundraisers until further notice.

These events were essential for the successful funding of the Foundation’s Pay It Forward Scholarships.

This year in order to raise money for the scholarship fund, the Morton 201 Foundation is hosting an online auction.

We hope that you will join us by bidding on one or more of our amazing auction items. All proceeds will benefit our Pay It Forward Scholarship program which will allow more students to fulfill their dreams of pursuing their education.

Thank you in advance for your generous support.

The Morton 201 Foundation would also like to sincerely thank all of our donors and sponsors who contributed to making our auction a success. Please show them your support and gratitude by patronizing their businesses.

Anyone can view our auction items but you must register in order to place a bid.

Good luck and happy bidding.

About Morton 201 Foundation

Founded in 2011, the Morton 201 Foundation is a 501(c)3 whose mission is to provide inspiration and enrichment to the students of J. Sterling Morton High School District 201 through opportunities and resources supportive of their educational experiences.

The J. Sterling Morton High School District 201 serves over 8,500 students and is comprised of 5 schools: Morton East, Morton West, The Freshmen Center, The Alternative School and the Freshmen Academy.

We believe in the pursuit of higher education. In 2018 we established the Pay It Forward Scholarship Fund and awarded our first four $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors who attend an accredited college, university, technical, or trade school.

The award is based on outstanding academic performance, contributions to the school, extracurricular activities (or work experience) financial need, community service, and overall citizenship.

In 2020, we awarded ten $1,000 in scholarships. Due to several successful fundraisers as well as the generous and continued support of our donors and corporate sponsors, scholarships were increased to $2,000 in 2021.

To date, we have awarded 43 scholarships totaling $72,000. We want to keep that momentum going but we need your help.
