The Cape Henlopen Educational Foundation’s annual Winter Jam fundraiser is scheduled for 7 to 11 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Rusty Rudder, 113 Dickinson St., Dewey Beach.
All funds raised will benefit educational programs for the more than 5,500 students in the Cape Henlopen School District, including teacher grants for unbudgeted classroom projects; support for homeless and limited income students; science, technology, engineering and math initiatives; performing arts education and training; and programs to promote diversity and inclusion.
“Winter Jam has become an annual reunion event for Cape region community members and educators.” said CHEF President Rick Grier-Reynolds, who has been involved with CHEF since its inception in 2006. “It’s our major annual fundraiser and supports educational enrichment programs which — given cuts in state funding — wouldn’t happen without community support.”
