<P>The evening's fundraising proceeds go to the Concord Education Fund. The CEF
awards grants for innovative curricula and projects that provide academic
enrichment at all levels of our public schools, including Concord-Carlisle High
School. This past spring CEF awarded <B>$154,839</B> in grants that enhance the
public school curriculum – programs which would not be possible but for the
generosity of CEF supporters. </P></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
