Freshman Gift Gathering Party: August 13 |
Mark your calendar for August 13 at 7 p.m. and plan for an enjoyable evening as we kick off Chatard-A-Bration 2023 with our Freshman Parent Gift Gathering Party (parents only)! This is a great way to meet fellow freshman parents, kick off the school year, and have some fun! Light appetizers and drinks will be provided.
Chatard-A-Bration (February 11, 2023) is Bishop Chatard’s second-largest fundraiser for our Annual Fund. Each year, each class joins forces to raise money to support it. Last year, we collectively raised over $300,000 to benefit our students and teachers. Please join us in this fun way to support Bishop Chatard. Looking forward to seeing you on August 13!
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!
