Every fundraiser run by the CNHS NJROTC Parents Club has one purpose: to support the cadets and strengthen their NJROTC experience. We are 100% volunteer-run with no paid staff, helping us direct the greatest possible share of funds toward cadet programs, travel, scholarships, equipment, and activities.
The Parents Club runs fundraising events throughout the school year. Some are annual traditions. Others are new ideas from parents like you.
All of them share one thing: Funds raised help support cadet programs, travel, competitions, scholarships, equipment, activities, and the essential operating costs required to run the Parents Club.
Below you will find current and upcoming events, past fundraisers, how funds are used, and ways you can help make future fundraisers successful.
