"With all of the work the Foundation does for our students, I thought it was important to get involved.  It would be great if more of our school community took the step and got involved with the Foundation.  Anything we can do to help our students will give them a better opportunity to be successful in school and in life."    Jim Goetz, DEF Director & Chesterton High School Principal
