Isabella Carpenter 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. We must help Paws for Patrick as they assist others and also raise awareness of mental illness while breaking the stigma that still exists.
