Collegiate Academy of Colorado Foundation
The Collegiate Academy Foundation operates as the Parent Teacher support organization of Collegiate Academy and is the sole fundraising arm of the school. The Foundation supports academic and enrichment programs which are beyond the scope of the school’s annual budget. The organization is registered as an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization in Colorado.
The Foundation runs several annual fundraisers which allow the group to fund programs including classroom accounts for teachers, teacher appreciation events, and larger projects such as playground improvements and increased access to technology in the classroom via mobile Chromebook carts.
EXCITING NEWS!!
The CAC Parent Teacher Foundation will now run a session of Bingo starting January 2019!!!
Starting January 2019, every Wednesday (including school breaks) we will host the 7:30 pm session at Slammers Bingo Hall in Lakewood. This is very exciting as it gives us the ability to earn money from the larger community in addition to the fundraisers within the school. With the ability to bring in more money, we believe this will make a huge impact on what the Foundation can do for the students, teachers, staff, and school going forward.
Stay tuned for more details on volunteering as Bingo requires 8-10 volunteers every week.
