Chelsea Education Foundation (CEF) and the Educational Foundation of Dexter (EFD) are once again joining forces to raise vital funds for educational grants in their respective communities. This impactful fundraising campaign began August 26th, 2026, and culminates in a thrilling halftime event at the Dexter vs Chelsea football game on September 25th, 2026 at Jerry Niehaus Field in Chelsea. The stakes are high, the rivalry is fierce, and the impact is real. This is your chance to make a tangible difference for our students, teachers, and staff!

The Rivalry Match tradition has become a treasured community event. In 2019, the inaugural match raised over $10,000 for both non-profit organizations. After a brief hiatus in 2020, the tradition made a triumphant return in 2021. That year, the match yielded a combined total of $45,662, with CEF securing the title by raising $24,099 compared to EFD’s $21,563.
