Every fundraiser run by the CNHS NJROTC Parents Club has one purpose: put money directly into cadet hands. No administrative costs. No middlemen. Just parents raising funds so cadets can compete, travel, earn scholarships, and succeed.
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: 100% of proceeds go directly to cadet support.
Below you will find current and upcoming events, past fundraisers, how funds are used, and ways you can help make future fundraisers successful.
