This event isnโt just a partyโitโs 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.
๐ CAAEL at a Glance:
โ๏ธ 60+ partner schools across 30 Illinois counties
โ๏ธ 5,000 students served annually
โ๏ธ 1,100+ events each year promoting sportsmanship, teamwork, and responsibility
โ๏ธ 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 outโbut CAAEL ensures they get the same opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed.
