Ariella and Marisa Bernstein DHS School Chest 2021

Each year, Deerfield High School's Student Council organizes a month-long charity drive, School Chest, that benefits a local organization. This year, our beneficiary is Paws For Patrick which was selected by the teachers and students at DHS.

Paws for Patrick is a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting young people with Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) and Therapy Dogs to aid them as they live with mental illness. Utilizing their unique Wish Granter and Therapy Dog programs, they provide the funds and resources to bring the love of animals to the people who need it most. Please consider helping Paws for Patrick continue to raise awareness to the rising and alarming rate of young people struggling with mental health, along with assisting individuals to get the tools they need to cope.
