Chatard-A-Bration
February 22, 2025
Our most popular fundraiser, our annual Chatard-A-Bration, brings hundreds from the Bishop Chatard community together for an exciting evening with live entertainment, loads of fellowship, exceptional auction packages, and good food and drink, all in support of our Annual Fund.
Thank You!
Thank you to the over 500 people who joined us at the 2024 event ‘Dancing Through the Decades’! We are especially grateful to our 2024 Chatard-A-Bration sponsors, along with co-chairs Aaron Dixon & John Leppert, and the men and women who served on organizational committees and helped bring this wonderful evening to life. All funds raised will help provide tuition assistance and teacher compensation.
Get excited to rock the night away at Chatard-A-Bration 2024: Dancing through the Decades on February 10, 2024!
Choose an era that gets your feet moving as you dress for the decade. Think the groovy Beatles for the 60s, boogie on down with the Bee Gees in the 70s, get gnarly with Fleetwood Mac in the 80s or dress da bomb as you get jiggy with Pearl Jam in the 90s. Help us smash our goal of $360,000 by purchasing a table, becoming a sponsor or outbidding your neighbor in the auction!
- Check-in begins at 5:30 p.m. on Sat., Feb. 10, 2024
- The evening includes a cocktail hour, silent auction bidding throughout, dinner, a short program and dancing with Dave & Rae.
- Attire: Dress for the Decade!
- Tickets are $150 per person or $1500 for a table of ten.

2024 Fund-A-Need Project: BCHS Bus
It’s not too late to help with our 2024 Fund-A-Need Project.
Help us fund the purchase of the second coach bus by donating to the Chatard-A-Bration Fund-A-Need!
Bishop Chatard has purchased one coach bus and is in the process of acquiring a second bus in order to expand our capacity to transport students to their various off campus activities including away sports competitions, retreats, special events and service projects. We will continue to use most of our shuttle buses and, with the addition of two, fifty-five passenger coaches, will be less dependent on costly bus rentals.
