Supper & Sips 2025 is a Wrap!
What. A. Night!
Supper & Sips 2025 Sets a New Record
Nearly $100,000 raised for Decatur students and schools!
Our community showed up in a big way for this year’s Supper & Sips fundraiser, and we’re still smiling about it. From start to finish, the evening was filled with energy, laughter, and generosity — all in support of Decatur’s students. Together, we raised nearly $100,000, setting a new fundraising record for this event!
A Celebration with Purpose
While Supper & Sips is always a fun night out, the real magic happens when those dollars go back to work in our schools and community. The funds raised will help power some of DEF’s most impactful programs, including:
Teacher and Student Innovation Grants that encourage creativity and hands-on learning in classrooms.
Mental health and substance misuse trainings for students, teachers, and families.
Essential needs support for Decatur families facing hardship.
Neurodivisity support for students who learn differently.
Funding for school book fairs and field trips that help every student experience the joy of learning beyond the classroom.
Each of these initiatives is part of DEF’s mission to ensure every student has what they need to learn and thrive — and your support makes it possible.
Community Generosity on Display
We’re deeply grateful to the many people and businesses who made the night possible.
To our local sponsors and donors — thank you for your partnership and for investing in our students’ futures. Please help us thank them by supporting their businesses throughout the year!
To our volunteers, who helped with everything from setup to check-in to cleanup — you are the heartbeat of this event. And to everyone who came out to eat, sip, bid, and celebrate — we couldn’t do this without you.
Stay Tuned
We’ll be sharing more photos and stories from the evening soon, along with updates on how your contributions are already making a difference in classrooms across Decatur.
Thank you for helping us continue to connect people, resources, and ideas — because when our community comes together, amazing things happen. 💜💛
