Chatard-a-Bration - February 22


Chatard-a-Bration, Bishop Chatard's second-largest fundraiser, returns this February in support of our Annual Fund! This year's theme, Derby Day, promises an exciting evening filled with live music by the Jai Baker Trio, great fellowship, exceptional auction experiences, and delicious Southern-inspired fare.


Our Annual Fund provides tuition assistance to over half our students, and helps to more justly compensate our teachers. Last year Chatard-a-Bration raised $395,000, and with your support we hope to race past that goal!
