2022 CAPER EVENT

THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN OUR

CAPER 2022 EVENT

The 20th annual Carden Arbor View School CAPER was a huge success!  On Saturday, May 21, 2022 we  raised over $144,000 for the school including the raffle for a tuition voucher.  Thank you for participating in our live and silent auctions and the tuition raffle.

We could not have had this success without our amazing sponsors including the DeBruyne Family, the Castillo Family, Chino Valley Ranchers, The Nichols Family, The Resser Family, Face N Body Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery, the Park Family, the Helsius Family, The Cho-Chang Family, Velocity Truck Rental and the Deon Family. Thank you too for all the teacher sponsorships.  

Thanks to our amazing CAPER 2022 committee, their time,  creativity, tireless efforts and enthusiasm are so appreciated!

The evening included an immersive murder mystery entertainment party! A party where guests dressed up to match the old Hollywood era. We all worked together throughout the night to solve a fictitious murder that took place during the party, all while raising funds for our school! It was an exiting and a fun night for all!

Raffle for A Tuition Voucher
This year's raffle included a tuition voucher in the amount of $4,040 (in honor of our 40th Anniversary) for one student for the 2022-23 academic year. We sold 120 tickets therefore, there were two winning tickets that were announced at the  end of the evening at the event.  The winners were the Hernandez Family and the Maharaj Family.  Congratulations to you! 

Thanks for supporting our school and students. We are looking forward to seeing you at the 21st Annual CAPER, to be announced in a few months.  

Warm regards,

Ms. Terri DiMarco, Director of Advancement on behalf of 
the Carden Arbor View School, 2022 CAPER Committee
