Happy Monday Connect HS Families!

Da Vinci RISE High launched their inaugural Giving Campaign last week. As part of their efforts, they are hosting a fundraiser in collaboration with Chipotle this Wednesday, September 22 from 4:00 – 8:00pm. We’d love to have as many members of our community as possible show up to support them.

Not only is Chipotle donating 33% of all proceeds directly to RISE, but through the generosity of Desolation Hotel, all funds raised from this event (as well as from donations made during the Giving Campaign) will be matched up to $25,000! In other words, you can double your impact by grabbing Chipotle on your way home this Wednesday!

Please see below for information, and share with others who may be interested in joining!

Have a Fantastic Week!
The Team at Da Vinci Connect HS
