About the Event
The annual Drive For Schools fundraiser is back for it's 18th year, and Rio is excited to be participating again. Sponsored by the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, last year an impressive $744,645 was raised for Santa Cruz County schools, bringing the total raised in the history of this fundraiser to almost $8 million!
How it works
Schools sell DFS raffle tickets, and we get to keep every single dollar we raise! Last year we raised over $16,000 for Rio! We encourage everyone to get involved!
Raffle prizes
The grand prize is $25,000 cash, along with almost 100 other fun and valuable prizes. The drawing will be held at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk on Sunday, October 23.
Plus, at Rio we hold weekly draws for those who turn in tickets to have a chance to win Rio swag and Pizza My Heart slice cards. The classes with the highest cumulative donations (K-3 & 4-6) at the end of the fundraiser also win a class popsicle party!!! And, the top seller over all grade levels will win a reserved parking space in the Rio Parking lot!!!
