This past weekend = PURE MAGIC ✨
We’re still crunching numbers… but what we already know? It took a village — and then some.
SO MANY SHOUT OUTS to the people and businesses who made this unforgettable weekend possible:
💫 2026 Auction Committee & Subcommittee Chairs — all hands on deck from start to finish. This event simply would not have happened without your dedication, late nights, and heart.
✨ Decor Chairs: Michelle Willey (), Zareen Bhatti (), & Whitney Davis () — you spent countless hours bringing a vision to life. The visuals were next-level. Truly unlike anything OFE has seen before.
🎈 Janie Jan (.hazel) — your over-the-top balloon installations at the GlamBot and stage were ART. You create the kind of magic that makes memories last forever. We are endlessly grateful for the way you support our Bobcats.
👑 OFE Exec Board President, President-Elect & VP2 — Emily, Tiffany & Ellie — 72 hours straight. First in, last out. Leaders in every sense of the word. We are so lucky to have you guiding this school.
🏡 Oak Forest local businesses — your auction donations, sponsorships, and commitment to public education make a tangible difference. Our neighborhood shows up, and we are so thankful.
🍎 Our teachers, staff & admin — you show up for our Bobcats every single day, and then somehow still show up for events like this. Your socials, auction items, and contributions raise thousands. We are endlessly grateful.
📸 — that GlamBot was EVERYTHING. (Link coming soon 👀)
🖨 Ms. Hunt — print projects down to the very last second. You saved us more than once!
💙 A very special shoutout to our VP Fundraising — ALL. YOU. DO. We love you!!!!!
🏨 And to Gary — we truly can’t imagine a better partner and host for such a special night.
OFE, this weekend was a reminder of what happens when a community rallies around public education.
Paws up forever. 🐾
