Dinner & childcare provided.

If you'll be spending big bucks at the Regal Cinemas this year to take in all the fantastic family-friendly flicks, we're here to help with Regal Fundraising Campaign 2.0! When you buy a 2-ticket bundle for $30, 25% of that purchase comes back to the CHES PTA to fund future events and programs! Or sign up to be a Team Member and help us sell tickets to raise funds.

(Codes to use at Regal are stored on the GroupRaise site for you. They can be used to buy tickets at the theater via a printed QR code, or use a number code in the Regal app. Codes do not expire. Keep track of them by printing them or storing them on your phone, like in your Notes app. Fees may apply for some shows, such as new releases and 3D, but that's pretty typical, see FAQfor more information. This fundraiser runs from now until Sept. 23, 2026.)

Kick off the start of a new school year & cool down with some ice-cream with friends, old and new! Open to all CHES students, siblings, caregivers, and staff.
