Please Watch our Video: Annual Fund Drive DESEF 2024-2025 YouTube

The DESEF Annual Fund Drive (AFD) is Walt Disney’s most critical fundraiser of the school year and it started with the Annual Registration on August 1st.

The AFD goal for the 2024-25 year is $100,000 and with your support we hope to meet or exceed this goal by September 16, 2024. We are asking each family to make a tax-deductible donation of $500 per child, but we are grateful for any and all donations.
