The Cape Henlopen Education Foundation held its Spring Jam 2022 May 20 in a large tent outside of the Virden Center, where attendees enjoyed live music from Blue Label Band, delicious food specialties from local food trucks, libations, dancing and a gift card tree.
“It was great to see everyone out this year,” said CHEF board member Gail Mack. “Last year’s virtual event was a great success, but this year was magical to see the community come out to support our Cape schools.”
Spring Jam serves as the primary funding source for the school district's unfunded or underfunded programs for students. During the past 10 years, CHEF has contributed $209,000 to more than 320 grant awardees.
