Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am continually inspired by the dedication and passion of our culinary students. Their enthusiasm for cooking and commitment to excellence are truly remarkable. With your generous support, we can provide them with the tools they need to succeed.

By equipping our program with a hot dog machine and to-go containers, we can enhance our fundraising efforts.

The hot dog machine will allow us to serve delicious meals efficiently, attracting more attendees to our events. The to-go containers will enable us to offer convenient meal options, increasing sales and community engagement.

These resources are essential for reaching our fundraising goal, which will enable our students to participate in an upcoming competition. Your contribution directly impacts their growth and success.

Thank you for believing in our students and investing in their future. Together, we can make their culinary dreams a reality.

Warm regards,

Christina Coupet
