Donor Recognition Walls
In January 2026, the D128 Foundation for Learning hosted a special gathering to honor the donors whose generosity has supported innovative programs and opportunities for Community High School District 128 students. The newly installed donor recognition walls at Libertyville High School and Vernon Hills High School celebrate individuals, families and businesses who have contributed $5,000, $10,000, $40,000, $80,000, and $128,000 to the Foundation since its inception in 2007.

In recognition of her dedication and passion for District 128, Landgraf’s husband, John Landgraf, approached Foundation leaders last spring with the idea of creating donor recognition walls. His vision was to both honor the Foundation’s supporters and pay a lasting tribute to his wife’s commitment to the schools. When the Foundation expressed concern about using donor funds for the project, Landgraf generously offered to personally fund the cost of the donor walls at both high schools.
“We are incredibly grateful to all of our donors, and especially to the Landgraf family for their continued support,” said Foundation Chair Erica Rendall.
Since 2007, the D128 Foundation for Learning has contributed more than $747,000 to Libertyville High School, Vernon Hills High School, and Transition Pathways through DARING Innovation Grants, scholarships, and support for students in need.
The Foundation will update the Donor Recognition Walls on February 1, 2027 at a ceremony at Libertyville High School starting at 7:00 pm. Donations received by December 2, 2026 will be included in this year’s wall update. If you’d like to know your current giving level, please email chair@d128foundation.org.
