This is your opportunity to make this holiday season a memorable one for the students at CHS.

As winter approaches, the CHS staff would like to ensure that all of its students experience the joy of the holiday season. This year, the goal is to give every CHS student a new sweatshirt and to give additional winter gear to the neediest students.

Unfortunately, our students have needs year round for things like school supplies and school uniforms. This year, please consider making a recurring donation that will help to make CHS students successful all year long.

Now through Friday, Dec. 13, we will be accepting donations to the Angel Tree giving program. Click here to donate to CHS Angel Tree online using a credit card.

We also accept cash or checks. Checks should be made payable to the SIUE Foundation and sent to Anne Moore, CHS treasurer, Campus Box 1049. Please drop off any cash donations to Moore in Alumni Hall, Room 1134.

The SIUE Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.
