Calling all pin-up gals & fly guys! This year’s annual Cadets and Cadence Dinner Auction will step back to the 1940s, a time of sophisticated fashion and glamorous films, of USO tours and the sounds of big bands.
Our USO Big Band Christmas Gala will be held on Saturday, December 3. It is our BIGGEST event of the year which raises a majority of our funds that support student financial aid and scholarships.
Did you know that more than 97% of CLHS families receive aid? Last year, our Blue Christmas event broke records and sold out! We netted $78,339 in support of our school along with $253,200 pledged in the paddle raise for student scholarships.
Please join us in our mission to provide affordable quality Christian education to our Fort Wayne area families! How can you help?
