We were thrilled to bring back the Foundation’s beloved Chili Dog Open to enrich educational opportunities for students across Desert Sands Unified School District (DSUSD)!

This fun, staff-centered event brought together DSUSD staff, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters for an evening full of laughter, friendly competition, great food, and community connection.

From the crowd-favorite “You Hit It, You Get It” putting contest to the silent auction and delicious chili dogs, the evening was a great reminder of what makes DSUSD so special: people coming together to support students.

A huge thank you to The Lights at Indio Golf Club and all of our incredible sponsors for helping make the night possible. Your support helped the Desert Sands Educational Foundation continue connecting our community to our classrooms through academic scholarships, student support programs, career exploration opportunities, and inclusive experiences for students throughout DSUSD.

Congratulations to the winners!
