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.

Dear CHA families,
The virtual auction starts today!
Due to COVID-19 the CHAF auction this year will be virtual and running for one week (Friday, August 14th through Friday, August 21st). We know that it is a challenging time and CHAF is hoping to be able to continue supporting our school for the next year with focus on our core pillars. 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
WHEN: Friday, August 14th through Friday, August 21st
We have tried to confirm with our donors expiration dates and availability, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic this is subject to change.
You will need to create an account in order to bid. The process is quick and very little information is required as you can see on the Create an Account Home Page. If you wish to simply make a cash donation, you can donate via the “Donate” button on the auction website, via check made out to CHAF or you can donate via our online Square site.

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/.

It's like totally time to get ready for our annual auction! It's being held on Saturday, April 18th and child care is available. It's going to be a righteous time, especially since we'll be doing it 80's style! So dust off those leg warmers and acid washed jeans - tickets go on sale March 2nd!
In the meantime, if you have any tubular donations to make (goods, services, experiences), please email chaf@childrens-hour.com or complete a donation form, included in your mailbox. We'll also be hosting a Mom's Night Out and a Dad's Trivia Night in March to help collect wine donations for our fundraising "wine pull" event at the auction. More information on those radical events coming soon.
Thank you for supporting our school!
