OUR MISSION
At CEF, we identify, coordinate, and connect resources through partnerships to support students and educators within the South Sioux City Community School District.
OUR VISION
Vision: We inspire hope, open doors, and empower students to achieve their dreams.
OUR HISTORY
The Foundation was originally incorporated in November 1983, by members of the community. The Foundation began the Annual Honors Banquet to recognize students in the South Sioux City School District in grades 9-12 whom had achieved high academic standings by soliciting the community businesses to help pay for students meals at the banquet. We continue our efforts to secure funding to benefit and support the South Sioux City School District with our non-profit Cardinal Education Foundation.
HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Join the Foundation Board, make a donation, volunteer, and/or attend one of our events to support the Cardinal Education Foundation.
The Cardinal Educational Foundation is excited to announce that nominations are now open for the 2025–2026 Hall of Fame!
Save the Date: The annual Pat Kavanaugh Golf Tournament sponsored by Cardinal Educational Foundation at Covington Links is scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026.
