VI VI: An Evening to Celebrate and Support Westside Community Schools
VI VI is the Westside Foundation’s signature annual gala, where every dollar raised goes right back into Westside Community Schools through our Foundation Grant Program. This year, we’re celebrating with the theme “Building on Something Extraordinary Together”. It’s the perfect opportunity to show off your school spirit—whether it’s wearing vintage Westside gear or sporting your favorite school colors!
The name VI VI (pronounced “vee-vee”) represents the Roman numerals for 6 and 6, symbolizing District 66. The Roman theme also ties back to Westside High School’s iconic Roman Warrior mascot, making it a truly special event for our community.
Since its inception in September 2003, VI VI has become a beloved tradition that brings together community leaders, friends, and alumni for an unforgettable evening of celebration, connection, and fundraising to support essential district projects. We can’t wait to see you there!
