After a thrilling day of heart-pounding racing action, supporters of District 35 gathered in downtown Glencoe for the Glencoe Grand Prix’s (GGP) Block Party on a perfect summer night. A whopping 2,000 attendees rocked out to the sounds of Sixteen Candles, and enjoyed libations from the beer tent and food from various food trucks parked around the perimeter. More than $50,000 was raised, going directly toward SmartBoard purchases in the district and support in the form of grants to three local schools in Chicago and Elgin. glencoegrandprix.com
