Cardinal Chase 2011 - A Pirate's Tale

At Caiden's school, they have a spring fundraiser called the "Cardinal Chase."  This year's theme was all about "A Pirate's Tale."  The kids raise money by asking for pledges/donations for running laps.  The kids have a lot of fun and the volunteers do a fantastic job of putting on the event.

 Here are the kids in Caiden's class at the starting line.

The Cardinal Chase

The school that Caiden attends held their annual fundraiser, The Cardinal Chase in April. The kids raise money for various things around the school and run laps to earn that money. Givers can either pledge a whole amount or per lap. This year's Cardinal Chase theme was "Its a Jungle at the Creek." Here's Caiden decked out in his jungle gear.
