Snow is No Match for School Spirit in Algonquin

Star 105.5 hosted Spirit Nights with Buffalo Wild Wings, and in light of Thursday's snow storm, there was concern we'd have to reschedule the event. Jacobs High School showed us!

 

This month Star 105.5 will be hanging out at Buffalo Wild Wings in Crystal Lake or Algonquin for Spirit Nights to raise money for many of our local high schools.

Last week, it was Crystal Lake Central at the Crystal Lake BWW's location, and last night, Thursday, Jan. 12, it was B-Dubs in Algonquin with Jacobs High School.

What a showing!

With all of the snow falling across the area and the nasty road conditions, the school showed up to show their spirit. My co-host, Tina, and I were honestly surprised by the turnout.

There was a waiting line for tables as the snow blanketed the area. Not only did parents arrive with their kids, but many faculty members came out to buy some wings and give back. Fifteen percent of the food proceeds go back to the school.

We got in touch with Buffalo Wild Wings marketing manager Vicki Frantz earlier in the day to discuss the possibility of cancelling or moving the event. However, she was confident the night would be successful based on conversations with school officials as they were ready to show their spirit.

We gave out tons of Star prize packs and had a blast as students took part in wing eating contests, too.
