Mario from Mario’s Italian Café is a longtime supporter of our school community and continually looks for new ways to give back.

This year, the Foundation is excited to partner with Mario’s to create a unique fundraising opportunity for DSUSD middle and high schools.

Together, we developed a Card of Savings featuring exclusive specials and discounts at Mario’s Italian Cafés! Schools sell each card for $5, and they keep 100% of the proceeds, with the Desert Sands Educational Foundation covering all printing costs! We are thrilled about this partnership and the positive impact it will have on our students and schools. Sales are already underway.

This collaboration with Mario’s Italian Café is a wonderful example of community partnerships in action!
