Your hosts for the party: Mike & Amy Borchers, Bryan & Beth Brown, Brad & Eileen Countryman, Mike & Kristin Felts, Andy & Aly Schroeder, and Vince & Cindy Todd.
Bring your donation with you or donate online for your convenience. We are hoping to raise $5,000 from the Class of 2026 to support Chatard-a-Bration. A typical gift for a family is $50. Of course, we welcome silent auction items as well, especially experiences that our families will love to bid on!
