Dine to Donate: Chipotle – August 6, 2024

by
The Fairfield County 4-H Junior Leaders will be hosting a monthly dine to donate fundraiser to raise funds for their club. August’s dine to donate will be a Chipotle fundraiser on Tuesday, August 6, 2024 from 4:00 – 8:00 p.m. at 1608 North Memorial Drive, Lancaster. 25% of the event sales will be donated to the 4-H program.
Supporters should show the official fundraiser flyer (shown above) in hard copy or on their phone. Supporters may also tell the cashier at checkout that they are there to support the 4-H fundraiser before they pay! If you don’t tell the cashier you are there for the fundraiser, the Junior Leaders will not get credit for the sale.
Remember do not hand out fundraiser flyers or solicit to customers in line at the restaurant, or in the parking lot at any time. All promotion/flyer distribution must be done ahead of time.
Gift cards purchased during fundraisers do not count towards total donated sales, but purchases made with an existing gift card will count.
Order online and pickup Chipotle for your fundraiser by using the Promo Code D23P6NL on the Chipotle app or website. Please note that fundraiser online ordering is only valid through pickup during your fundraiser’s scheduled date, time, and assigned restaurant. Ordering delivery for fundraisers is not permitted at this time.
The Junior Leaders are a countywide teen leadership group that focuses on 4-H community service, leadership, and more! Their big events include planning the Fairfield County 4-H Advisor Recognition, Countywide Cloverbud Events, and the Bottle Cap Bench Project!
