On Friday, Oct. 22 the Chelsea Bulldogs will be invading Dexter to take on the Dreadnaughts in the final game of the high school football season.
Although these two schools may be rivals on the gridiron, Chelsea Education Foundation (CEF) and The Educational Foundation of Dexter (EFD) are joining forces off the field to raise money for educational grants in both communities.
Both foundations are fundraising in the weeks leading up to the game through a text-to-donate campaign. Community partners, Art Moehn Chevrolet Buick of Chelsea, Stieper & Brust Orthodontics, Culver’s of Chelsea, LaFontaine Chevrolet of Dexter, and Chelsea State Bank have helped support the fundraiser with a total of over $4,000 in sponsorships.
Donations are now being accepted, and you can see who is in the lead through each foundation’s website and social media pages. There will be a push to donate at the game with activities and giveaways to show your school spirit.
