CHAIN EXPLORATION CENTER HALLOWEEN GALA

Unleash your alter ego! Create a costume that channels your inner icon, oddball, or creature of the night! The Chain Exploration Center Governance Council invites you to join us for an unforgettable evening of Halloween-inspired fun, food, community, and, most importantly, chances to make a lasting impact on students in 4K-8th grade!

This event is for adults (18+)

ABOUT THE EVENT

The Chain Exploration Center’s Halloween Gala is our premier fundraising event for the 2026-2027 school year! The CEC is a charter school within the School District of Waupaca, and all funds raised for the CEC will be used to support the mission, vision, and values of the CEC as determined by the CEC Governance Council. Examples that improve the day-to-day student experience include supporting our Suzuki Orchestra Program and the Chain Community Garden, promoting youth mental health, and funding other Governance Council initiatives. As a team of volunteers and ambassadors, members of the CEC Governance Council look to the mission of the school to guide our decisions, to create a sustainable future for the school.
