Each fall, Deerfield High School rallies the community for School Chest, a 3-week fundraising tradition filled with events, energy, and generosity. From bake sales to galas, every dollar supports a chosen nonprofit. School Chest has raised upwards of $200,000 for their beneficiaries in past years, thanks to the incredible spirit of students and neighbors alike. We are both excited and honored to announce that we have been selected as the 2025 DHS School Chest Beneficiary!

For over 50 years, Deerfield High School’s annual School Chest charity drive has united our community to support meaningful causes. This year, we are proud to partner with Hallie225, a nonprofit dedicated to living life ‘The Hallie Way.’
Starting on November 4th, the Deerfield students, staff, and community will come together to raise awareness and funds for this incredible organization. Your support will help Hallie225 meet the growing demands for assistance and teach the world to live life ‘The Hallie Way.’

Hallie loved elephants.
There are clear parallels between Hallie and her favorite animal; both exude strength, loyalty, wisdom, and a caring nature. To symbolize these traits and pay tribute to the importance of elephants in Hallie's life, we've chosen the elephant as the logo for Hallie225.
