Mat & Alicia Phillips. PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF FIRST PRESBYTERIAN PRESCHOOL
More than 80 guests gathered at the beautiful east Lake Forest home of Mat and Alicia Philips, raising record-breaking funds to benefit First Presbyterian Preschool. Attendees bid on exciting silent auction items, entered for raffle prizes, and participated in a rowdy game of “rock, paper, scissors.” New School Director and Lake Forest native Suzanne Brunner addressed the crowd sharing that all proceeds will go towards further teacher education, technology upgrades, and enhanced student experiences. preschool.firstchurchlf.org
