The annual Winter Jam fundraiser was a success for the Cape Henlopen Educational Foundation, with hundreds of attendees raising money on a fun night to benefit district students and teachers.

Held at the Rusty Rudder in Dewey Beach March 8, the event offered a host of silent auction items, a gift card pull, small bites and live entertainment by Blue Label Band.

CHEF provides grants for unfunded and underfunded educational programs for Cape district students and teachers by offering support for limited-income students and those experiencing homelessness.

CHEF grants also power classroom projects, STEM initiatives, performing arts education, and training to support diversity and inclusion. Since 2006, CHEF has contributed more than $308,000 in grant funds for teachers and students.
