2023 Annual Report

As 2023 comes to a close, we would like to take a moment to reflect and thank you! From hosting our first-ever Family BBQ Picnic connecting current and aspiring Early Childhood Development teachers and K-12 educators, alumni, community partners, friends, and family to awarding over $95,000 in scholarships, this year has been filled with several collaborations and efforts we hope will have a lasting impact.


None of this would be possible without your support. To see what your donations fund and other highlights from both the Friends of Chabot and Chabot Grant Development Office, check-out the 2023 Annual Report.
