Half the money raised will be donated to the Cupertino Group Home located in Warrenville (a Clare Woods Academy operated facility, Carol Stream). The remaining half will be split between Western DuPage Special Recreation Association , Special Camps for Special People of Winfield, and Illinois Knights of Columbus Charities, Inc.
