A special thank you to CHS Athletics for the opportunity to bring our community together for a memorable evening filled with school spirit, great company, and a Hounds win! 🐾

👏 Thank you to Fanning Howey and The Skillman Corporation for sponsoring this VIP experience and helping make the evening possible!
