Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day
On Monday, November 14, Chartwell will be recognizing the Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day. The day commemorates six-year-old Ruby Bridges who stepped into the history books in 1960 when she integrated into William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, becoming a national icon for the civil rights movement. Chartwell will offer division-level activities to honor the day.

A portion of your gift can be matched when you give to Chartwell through Monterey County Gives, a year-end campaign that inspires local philanthropy and benefits a wide array of Monterey County nonprofits.
The Chartwell Board of Trustees has made a $50,000 Challenge Gift to inspire others to support our important mission. Please help us fulfill this challenge opportunity.
Our goal is for 100% of Chartwell families to support the Annual Fund at any level. We are currently at 20%. Thank you to everyone who has made their gift to Chartwell - every gift makes a difference.
