This event isn’t just a partyβ€”it’s a celebration with a mission. Every ticket, every donation, and every share helps CAAEL continue its incredible work supporting at-risk students in alternative education schools.


Why CAAEL Matters

For nearly 50 years, CAAEL has been a champion for students who often miss out on traditional school activities. Through athletic, academic, and arts programs, CAAEL empowers students facing challenges such as emotional or learning disabilities, behavioral struggles, or social isolation.

πŸ† CAAEL at a Glance:
βœ”οΈ 60+ partner schools across 30 Illinois counties
βœ”οΈ 5,000 students served annually
βœ”οΈ 1,100+ events each year promoting sportsmanship, teamwork, and responsibility
βœ”οΈ All activities happen during school hours, requiring students to meet academic, attendance, and behavior standards

While many Illinois students have access to IHSA-sanctioned sports and clubs, thousands of at-risk students are left outβ€”but CAAEL ensures they get the same opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed.
