All Hands Summer Fun Events
0:43

This month, CHS staff enjoyed our annual All Hands Summer Fun events, filled with food, games, sunshine and conversations. These gatherings allow staff time to connect, unwind and celebrate the meaningful work we do. Scroll below for highlights from each campus.

Every employee received a new “hope” shirt as a thank you. The shirts were a huge hit, and it wasn’t long before staff began asking where they could get more.

That enthusiasm sparked the launch of a full “hope” apparel line. To see the new shirt designs, visit the “Hope T-Shirts” dropdown menu in the online store. Board members are encouraged to join us in wearing and sharing the hope message. Show your support and order your shirt today!
