Calvary Baptist School’s 2023 Friendraiser is our very special annual fall fundraiser.  It will be a fun-filled evening featuring an online auction, live music, and elevated hors d’oeuvres, as we hear compelling testimonies along with an inspiring keynote speaker.  This annual fundraiser event brings new and faithful long-term supporters of CBS together from the larger Montgomery County region, with opportunities to interact with the School Board, students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff.

After completing our first year as an independent school, we are immensely thankful for the funds raised at last year’s event to help offset the expenses we incurred to provide a quality Christian education for so many local families.  Your help is essential to bridge the gap between the cost of educating the students who desire a Christian education at Calvary and the available resources.  We need to build a community of friends who believe in our mission and are excited to support the future success of our educational programs.

Our goal this year is to raise $100,000 so we can build a firm foundation for future sustainable growth.
