In 2005, the Friends of Carden was created as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, with the purpose of providing an avenue for friends, family and alumni to make tax-deductible donations to the school. The Friends of Carden organizes fundraisers and capital campaigns to raise money that is used to enrich the students' school experience in the classroom, on the athletic field, in the computer lab, and on the playground.
