**Updated as of 11/8/2025**
In loving memory of my late wife, Chenoa Nickerson, our family has decided to continue her legacy by partnering with Christ Greenfield School in Gilbert, AZ.
Chenoa tragically passed away in August 2024 while we were hiking together in the Grand Canyon.
Chenoa had a passion for theater and performing arts. She performed all throughout her school years and loved Broadway. Her favorite thing to do with her step-daughters was to take them to the local Hale Theater and experience the magic of live theater. She was constantly singing in our home and belting out Disney songs at the top of her lungs while driving with the kids in the car.
100% of donations will go directly to the Christ Greenfield Vocal and Theater Arts program.
The Turner Law Firm has agreed to sponsor this fund for the 25/26 school year and will be matching dollar for dollar any donations made to this fundraiser up to $5,000. Any donations made by December 31, 2025 will qualify for the match.
Funds will be used for any upgrades to equipment, renovations, set materials, costumes, or just overall budgetary needs.
CGS has created an award in Chenoa's honor: The "Chenoa Nickerson - See The Good" is given out twice each year. Once in the Fall semester and again in the Spring. The award is given to students who demonstrate strong character, perform at a strong level academically, and shine bright in the theater program.
List of winners:
Journey Stephens - Fall 2024
As the theater is renovated in the coming years, there are plans to add 2 practice rooms behind the stage. One of the rooms will be named the "Chenoa Nickerson Practice Room".
Thank you for keeping Chenoa's song alive and for being a part of her journey. Let us come together to celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the impact she had on everyone she met. Chenoa's light will forever shine bright in our hearts.
***Donations can also be mailed directly to the school via check.***
Checks should be made out to "Christ Greenfield School" and reference "See The Good Fund" in the memo line.
