Maryville to host wine tasting and garden tour August 15
Maryville Academy will host its first Wine Tasting and Garden Tour, to benefit Maryville Jen School, on Saturday, August 15, at the Des Plaines campus on 1150 N. River Road.
Each guest will pay $25 to sample several wine varieties, enjoy individually boxed appetizers, a chance to tour the Jen School garden and more. The outdoor tent event offers three time slots: 3 to 4 p.m., 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. or 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. Only 40 guests will be allowed at each hour to follow social distancing guidelines.
“We are very excited to host an event that has not been done before at Maryville,” Director of Development Megan Biasco said. “The event is a result of thinking outside the box after two of our April fundraisers were postponed due to the pandemic.”
Biasco hopes that the friendraising event will draw Maryville’s friends and supporters to the Des Plaines campus to support it. “Jen School is doing such a wonderful job with our students and the event’s success will be a big help,” Biasco added.
Jen School was selected by the National Association of Special Education Teachers (NASET) as a NASET School of Excellence for seven years in a row. It provides authentic and experiential learning opportunities in a structured and caring environment. It works with young people, ages 10 to 21, who face academic, emotional, behavioral or intellectual challenges.

June 1-5 is Week of Giving, a Virtual Event
After postponing two of its fundraisers when the stay-at-home order was enforced in March, Maryville finds a creative way to raise money for the children and its life-changing programs. Virtual fundraising.
Maryville will host a virtual event, a first of its kind, aptly called the Virtual Week of Giving on June 1-5.
Maryville’s fundraising team, headed by Development Director Megan Biasco, looks forward to Maryville supporters participating and bidding on auction items.
“We are excited to get this virtual event running,” Biasco said. “We are so grateful that our friends, supporters and donors have kept Maryville close to their hearts during this very difficult time.”
Donors can choose to donate any amount, opt for a specific amount, or bid on exciting auction items, from sports memorabilia and tickets, to staycation and entertainment packages, to fashion items, and much more.
Several prominent local and national personalities will share their personal Maryville story and the importance of supporting its fundraising efforts. Their video clips will be uploaded to the online site for the duration of the event.
Maryville had to make the difficult decision of postponing two April fundraisers due to the pandemic: the Ed Block Courage Award Luncheon and the Crisis Nursery Ladies Luncheon.
In spite of the challenges during this time, Maryville’s programs in Bartlett, Chicago and Des Plaines are growing. It is undeterred in helping the children and families in their care.
“We have reached out to many businesses since March,” Biasco shared, “and we are very lucky to be on the receiving end of people’s generosity and kindness, whether in-kind or monetary gifts, to help our programs.”
