HILL COUNTRY RANCH PIZZERIA PARTNERS WITH DRIPPING SPRINGS EDUCATION FOUNDATION

Fundraiser to Benefit Dripping Springs Schools

 

The meal package consists of an extra-large one-topping pizza, a family size salad, and breadsticks with cheese and marinara sauce. $4 will be donated for each Tiger Family Pack purchased between November 15 and March 14. "We feel strongly that we should give back to our local community," commented co-owner Mark Sewell. "Whenever possible we look to our schools and youth organizations to help out." The Tiger Family Pack sells for a discounted price of $19.99.

 

Dripping Springs Education Foundation was founded in 1992 by volunteers to raise private-sector funds to support academic goals and achievement at every school in the district. Most of the money raised is awarded through teacher grants for teaching innovations. "We feel this is a great way to raise money by partnering with a local restaurant that everyone can visit and do business with," said John Doucet, DSEF President. "The more people purchase the Tiger Family Pack, the more money we raise for our schools."
