The 2021 Partners for Equitable Science Instruction (PESI) Fundraiser at Crooked Tooth Brewing Co. was a great success! We hosted Science Trivia again, which was a big hit. Our fabulous science themed baskets were very popular as well. Always so creative, there were 12 baskets in all. Thanks to our wonderful active PESI supporters, all of the contents of the Science Baskets and Trivia gift cards were generously donated.
We introduced a new fundraiser game of Science Bingo this year. Bingo participants thoroughly enjoyed the different science themes. We look forward to having Science Bingo available at our future events. Also new this year was a PESI Snack Bar. Yummy treats and tasty nachos made this a profitable and delicious addition to our fundraiser.
Special thanks to the Tucson Herpetological Society (THS) for setting up their reptile display. There were several different varieties of snakes for guests to observe and touch, and housed in a glass case, was an amazing gila monster. The gila monster was definitely a huge hit with all the guests. We are so grateful that THS shared their special reptiles with us.
Finally, our most sincere thanks go to Ben, Julie and the staff at Crooked Tooth Brewing Co. They have hosted and supported the PESI Fundraiser since 2018. We deeply appreciate their participation and commitment to helping PESI reach our fundraising goals. We are so grateful that they understand and support our mission of bringing effective and equitable science education, instruction and professional development to Tucson area schools.
We recently added a DONATE button to the PESI website.
