How can you contribute to the CHS Class of 1976 Class Gift?

Cleverly written by one of our own, this shared document includes a few memorable reminders of 1976 — including the cost of a pitcher of beer at Terry’s — along with the important details on how to support our Class of 1976 gift.

Our class gift, established through the Davenport Schools Foundation, will benefit the Davenport Central High School Science Department with an annual gift of $1,500 for the department to use at its discretion.

Even better, gifts from classmates will be matched up to $15,000 by a generous member of the Class of ’76. Every contribution helps build a lasting legacy for future Central students.

Please consider making your contribution while matching funds remain available.
