Development Activities

Annual Fund 2011  The CHDS Annual Fund is critical to the School's operating budget.  We hope you will consider joining Annual Fund Co-Chairs, Maggie Daley and Jeremy Wiley, by volunteering to help with personal solicitations, phon-a-thons, mailings, and special projects.   It's a great way to connect with other CHDS families, and to make a significant impact on the life of the School.

Auction 2011!  The annual auction provides a fantastic night out for our parents and friends, and is also the largest and most exciting fundraising event of the year.  Every year, the profits from this event have been a significant source of operating funds due to our generous volunteers and contributors throughout the CHDS community.
