The school held a charity fundraiser on April 25, 2007, in the memory of Constable Davis Ahlowalia, a police officer who was killed in a tragic car accident along with two former Maple High School students. Nearly $5000 were raised. Vice principal Mr. Foti, along with two other teachers, volunteered to have their heads shaven if the $5,000 goal was met. All of the money raised was donated to Friends of the Poor, a charity organization that Constable Davis Ahlowalia was part of. On Wednesday, April 23, 2008, Friends with f.a.i.t.h. held another charity event at the school; they raised funds for Alzheimer's Research.
