Children's Hour Academy Foundation (CHAF)
The purpose of CHAF is three-fold, all with the goal of providing the means to address the needs of our children. First, parents of the students enrolled in CHA are eligible to apply to the foundation for tuition assistance or supplemental funding for professional services or student aids to meet a child’s unique needs. Second, CHAF provides support to CHA for the acquisition of equipment, furniture, and other capital expenses that enrich the learning environment for the children. Third, CHAF seeks to enhance every student’s learning experience by providing programs and supplies that are intended to be supplemental to the traditional curriculum.

Hello Families,
The 2021 Annual Auction is almost here, and we could use your help!
The past year has been rough for many, and our regular sponsors have been hit hard; like the Children’s Museum, OMSI, Children’s Theatre, wineries, and hospitality. This has made us think a little more creatively about what items will be available for auction this year and we could use your help. Some parents have offered up a vacation home as a weekend getaway, some have donated gift certificates to their favorite local business, and some have gifted items they sell from companies that have been able to weather the closures. One even offered wine through a membership club.
Please let us know by April 2nd if you have something you would like to donate that would make the auction a bit more fun. Think about what you have used and enjoyed most during the past year that other families might enjoy.
What: The 2021 Annual Auction
Hosted by: The Children’s Hour Academy Foundation (CHAF)
Where: Virtual Auction
When: Friday, April 16th, 2021 through Saturday April 24th, 2021
Why: The annual auction is our biggest fundraising event of the year! Funds from this year’s auction will go toward playground improvements, including funding toward a new play structure at Meridian campus & our core pillars (tuition assistance, teacher appreciation, art supplies, curriculum enhancements, summer enhancements and more)
Please contact chaf@childrens-hour.com with any questions or if you are interested in attending the next meeting or if you would simply like to be added to the email list.
Thank you for your support!

The majority of our funding comes from the annual auction. The funds will be used to support the CHAF core pillars including scholarships, curriculum enhancements, art supplies and teacher support at the Children's Hour Academy.
We have a lot of great items and a few class projects! Don’t forget to check out the raffle, too!
WHERE: online at www.32auctions.com/chaf2020

Silent auction '2020 CHAF Annual Auction' hosted online at 32auctions.Dear CHA Families,
2020 has been a challenging year so far for us all, including our school’s foundation CHAF. We have had to cancel the live auction which accounts for around 75% of CHAF’s operating budget throughout the year. To try and regain some of the auction expenses already spent and hopefully raise some funds for the coming school year we are planning a small online auction for a week in August (Friday, 8/14/20 to Friday, 8/21/20). This will give families an opportunity to bid on the few class projects that were completed prior to the pandemic and a few baskets with donated items that are still usable. More details to come!
If you are interested in donating any additional items to the auction please contact CHAF. We are so grateful for the support and generosity of our CHA community!
One of the most popular items each year at the auction is the matted black and white photo of each child on the “Photo Wall” that each family has the opportunity to take home. We had begun the process of getting each child’s photo taken by working with a local photographer Emily Gigoux who was both donating her time and the digital photos. As a thank you to our CHA families and in support of Emily’s work, we will be emailing out a digital copy to the families of those children she was able to get a photo of. Unfortunately, she was not able to get a photo of each child before the closure and restrictions were put into place. You can find Emily at emilygigoux.com/.
