As a refresher, CAFY is our annual back-to-school event that focuses on Four Pillars of Success (Career, Health, Education and Finances).
This event is designed to provide families with essential resources for academic and life success. CAFY’s mission is to prepare the youth of Huntsville/Madison County for success as they venture into adulthood, enter the workforce and/or pursue higher education.
Along with more than 70+ displays featuring student and family information about community activities and resources, this event will include live demonstrations, inflatables, interactive activities, entertainment, music, dancing, door prizes, FREE food and 1,000 FREE backpacks filled with school supplies. The event is for for students and families of students in grades 7-12 but is FREE and open to all ages.
