January 28th: O-Team Fundraiser at American Flatbread

January 23, 2025 By Hyo-Jin in General

The CRLS Orienteering team is sending six athletes to the Junior Nationals Competition in Texas this spring. To make this financially possible for our athletes, we are hosting a fundraiser at American Flatbread this Tuesday, January 28th.

Flatbread will donate $4 per large pizza and $2 per small pizza purchase between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. on January 28th. The O-team and Friends of Cambridge Athletics will receive proceeds for PIZZA PURCHASES ONLY, dine-in, take-out, and delivery.

This is a wonderful opportunity to support the CRLS orienteering team, FOCA, and a local business while also enjoying some comfort food in this cold weather. Please consider ordering pizza from American Flatbreads this Tuesday.

Date: January 28th (Tuesday), 4-10 pm
Location: American Flatbread / Sacco’s Bowl Haven
45 Day Street, Somerville
, MA 02144
