Building a Bulldog Future. Thank You!

From D&B Marketing

Chelsea Education Foundation would like to thank everyone who contributed to their first annual Grad Year Campaign. The pandemic made Chelsea Education Foundation’s annual fundraising gala impossible to host for the past three years, so the organization embarked upon the Grad Year Campaign Building a Bulldog Future to solicit support from the community. The Campaign recognized the Senior Class and future Bulldog graduates.

Chelsea Education Foundation (CEF) had an ambitious goal to raise $10,000. The Campaign ended on June 5 - Graduation Day, and raised nearly $4,000.

At this year’s class night, CEF’s President, Lynn Fox, congratulated Seniors and handed out $38,000 in the form of forty-one scholarships. Fox shared "Chelsea Education Foundation is proud to provide scholarships to Chelsea Graduates and help students take that next step to better themselves and the world.

Scholarships from CEF and community members are funded through the generous support of the Chelsea Community. As an all-volunteer organization, CEF can't make this happen year after year without your donations and our fundraising events".

During the 2021/2022 school year, CEF will channel nearly $80,000 into the Chelsea School District. $38,000 in scholarships and $39,000 in grants to support the creative endeavors of CSD educators. Donations directly benefit these two programs. Since CEF was founded in 1990, it has helped the Chelsea community with more than $1.1 million in funding. Your donations directly impact the lives of CSD students and teachers.

While the Campaign has officially ended, you can still support future Bulldogs. Click here to donate to CEF today.
