Septemberfest is a unique event as it honors Bloomingdale’s past, present and future. The best demonstration of our commitment to the future is the Bloomingdale Scholarship Competition. Started in 1987 with a single award of $400.00 to a young Bloomingdale resident, the program has grown to six and eight scholarships per year. It is open to both young men and women between the ages of 16 and 20 who are residents of incorporated Bloomingdale. This is a way for you, as a business, to show that these young adults are important and deserve support. Donations to the Joe Draghi Scholarship Fund would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering this request. http://www.vil.bloomingdale.il.us/septemberfest
