The Cape Henlopen Educational Foundation held its signature fundraising event March 7, at the Rusty Rudder in Dewey Beach. The organization works to help the more than 6,500 students in the Cape Henlopen School District.
The event featured music by the Blue Label Band, small bites, auction items and a live gift card pull.
All proceeds from the event benefit educational programs. So far, CHEF has contributed more than $411,000 in grant funds for teachers and students, unfunded or underfunded classroom projects, and offers support for homeless and limited-income students, STEM initiatives, performing arts education, and training and programs to promote diversity and inclusion.
There was an eclectic assortment of items up for bid at the auction.
