Project Search Fundraisers – both on Friday, January 17th: Cyclebar Class 8:30 – 9:00 AM & Torchy’s Tacos Spirit Day 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM – All are welcome!
Dear Project SEARCH Supporters and Graduates,
We are excited to share an opportunity with you to come to our cycling fundraiser to raise funds for our health and wellness program with Project SEARCH. We have loved having our Fitbits this year and we want to provide them for the class of next year. The Fitbits help us to track our steps, count how much water we drink everyday, and track our heart rate. We have learned that some of us haven’t been drinking a lot of water, some have not been exercising a lot, and we have learned what our heart rate is when we workout or in stressful times. The Fitbits have helped us learn a lot about ourselves and how we can improve.
There are two ways you can participate in the fundraiser. If you’d like to join us for the cycling class, please sign up at the link below. If you’d like to donate money, please send donations to Project SEARCH, 802 W. Drake Rd, Fort Collins, CO 80526.
At the Cyclebar class, we will be cycling to good music and working out for donations so please join us on January 17th, 2020 from 8:30-9:00am. Please meet us at 8:15 at Cyclebar to get fit for your bike. Cyclebar is located at 3300 S. Collage Avenue Suite#140. To sign up, please click HERE.
We will also be having a Torchy’s Tacos Spirit Day from 10 am-4 pm on Jan. 17th. The Project Search class will be going to Torchy’s Tacos after the Cyclebar ride to enjoy some breakfast tacos and socialize. Please print the attached flyer (below). We’d love to have you join us at Torchy’s to get caught up with community members as well as past friends and families of Project Search!
You can contact Emilie Ring for more information at (970) 219- 6667. You can also email her at emilier@psdschools.org.
