This morning, a local business alerted us to a fundraising scam. A third party claiming to represent CDHS Tennis asked for donations, saying it was to celebrate the girls team making it to state.

⚠️ Important: Only CDHS athletes or coaches will ever reach out for fundraising. If a business or individual is unsure, we encourage them to contact the Central DeWitt Activities Office to confirm before donating at (563) 659-0715 or [email protected].

Thank you to the local business for being vigilant and alerting us!
