Shop, Sip and Support Northside! Friday, April 24th

Supporting Northside has never been easier—or more enjoyable. Join us for an evening of great company and a little retail therapy at a private, after-hours shopping mixer on Friday, April 24th from 6–8 PM at embellish boutique.

Hosted by Northside parents M. Cecilia Bocanegra (’25, ’29) and Tracy Finn (’28), this special event offers the perfect blend of community and giving back. 100% of ticket proceeds benefit Northside, and both embellish and Apero wine bar will donate 20% of all sales during the event when you mention Northside.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, this is the ideal opportunity to get a head start on thoughtful gifts while enjoying wine and light bites generously provided by Apero wine bar. Make it a full evening - gather friends to start with an aperitif, or wind down after you shopped 'til you dropped, at Apero, where 20% of your check will also support Northside (just be sure to mention Northside!).

Can’t make the mixer? You can still participate.
Shop at embellish throughout the day on April 24th and 20% of your purchase will be donated back to Northside when you mention the school at checkout. Prefer to shop online? Simply include “Northside” in the order notes to ensure your purchase gives back. Plus, enjoy free shipping on all orders over $50.

Dads and students - consider this your shortcut to meaningful Mother’s Day gifting while supporting your school community.

Did you know 100% of CPS provided revenue goes to fund staff salaries at Northside? That means EVERYTHING else is funded by the school fees you pay each year and by Friends of Northside.

Technology, athletic tournament fees, academic team tournament fees (think debate, Latin, scholastic bowl, etc.), new uniforms and equipment, facilities maintenance, DI programing, graduation, instrument rentals, theater and musical supports, etc., as well as additional staff positions, FON supports it all.

FON is FULLY funded through donations. Make difference in the lives of about 1100 kids and donate to the Friends of Northside Annual Appeal today.
