Our Mission

Built for Dads.
Built for Chagrin Falls.

Founded Fall 1996

The Chagrin Falls Dads’ Club (CFDC) is a nonprofit corporation with two primary goals: to improve the educational, recreational, and social opportunities available to the children of the Chagrin Falls School District, and to promote good fellowship and a sense of community among all who participate in our organization and our events.

We’ve found that membership in the CFDC is one of the best ways to give back to your family, your schools, and your community — all at the same time. Whether you’re a new dad in the district or a long-time resident, there’s a place for you here.
