Dear Oak Families,

 

Denim After Dark, Oak School’s biennial fundraiser, is happening April 25, 2026 at Oak Brook Manor, and we can’t wait to celebrate with our amazing community. Saddle up for great food, cold drinks, mechanical bull rides, DJ tunes, line dancing, and can’t-miss live and silent auctions! This year, our fundraising efforts will focus on transforming the Oak School library into a modern, inspiring space that sparks curiosity and supports a lifelong love of learning for every student.

 

What You Need To Know:

  1. Event ticket sales end April 8! Tickets can be purchased here: https://denimafterdark.givesmart.com/
  2. Our amazing Oak teachers donated dozens of teacher-hosted parties for students. Teacher-hosted party ticket sales open on April 10 at 10AM. These tickets are first-come, first-served, and can be purchased here: https://denimafterdark.givesmart.com/   
  3. Our generous Oak parents donated dozens of parent-hosted parties for students. Parent-hosted party ticket sales open on April 10 at 10AM. There are enough tickets available for each Oak student to attend a parent-hosted party. All party tickets can be purchased on the GiveSmart website, and are organized by grade and gender.
  4. Can’t attend? Buy a teacher ticket on the GiveSmart website or participate remotely in the silent or live auctions. For each teacher ticket purchase, you receive one raffle entry for “Principal for a Day” with Mrs. Nassis (limit 10 entries per family). Text DENIMAFTERDARK to 76278 for auction and event alerts.

 

But Wait…There’s More!

When the GiveSmart auction website opens on April 10 at 10AM, we will begin selling Signature Oak Hootie Owls as a collectible plushy for students and Oak supporters. Soft, fun and full of Oak pride, these exclusive Hootie Owls will become your child’s favorite keepsake. Limited quantities are available, and more details can be found at https://denimafterdark.givesmart.com/

 

Every contribution—big or small—helps make a lasting impact for our students. Thank you for supporting Oak School and helping make Denim After Dark a night to remember!

 

With gratitude,

 

The Denim After Dark Committee
