Beginnings
Debra Gelfand, mother of six sons, was an active parent volunteer in Glenview District 34. She had a strong belief that parents should be involved in school activities. Debra provided many gifts and monetary contributions to the schools and gave countless hours of her time to the district. She died on July 4, 1990 at the age of 37 from cancer. This fund was established in Debra's memory to carry on her belief that it is important to help families in need.
