DSF Events
The Dailard School Foundation events are its pride and joy! It is our privilege to support the students, faculty, staff and families of the Dailard community — educationally, socially and financially — and it is absolutely what we do best. These are great opportunities for students and parents to get to know each other, and they serve as the primary fundraisers that enable the DSF to enrich Dailard’s educational culture. See the calendar for a comprehensive schedule of events and activities.
2026/2027 Events
D.A.D.S. Events
D.A.D.S. (Dads Assisting Dailard Students) is a committee of dads and dad figures who host a number of fun events throughout the year, including a paper plane flying competition, a coffee can ice cream making event and the beloved overnight campout. Learn more >>
Dolphin Pledge Drive
The Dolphin Pledge Drive is the first major fundraiser of the school year. It is one of the two large-scale events we host in lieu of a multitude of sales drives that pressure students and families to sell products to friends and neighbors (The other major fundraiser is the Jog-a-thon). The Dolphin Pledge Drive also ensures that 100% of the proceeds benefit the school, instead of sharing profits with an outside organization. Learn more >>
