Foundation Board
2023-2024 CHC Foundation Board of Directors
One of the founding members of the CHC Foundation was philanthropist Ruben Finkelstein. Ruben and his brother, Lester, donated the land for CHC in the late 1960's. They were both extremely proud and supportive of the college. CHC is a legacy to the Finkelstein brothers' support for education and love for people.
The CHC Foundation is comprised of community volunteers.
