I am so proud of you Brian!!!!!
Here is a great story to start the week - one of my favorite people is doing amazing things for the community. This is no surprise to any of us who know him. Keep up the great work!

A Winning Combination: Brian Allbritton needed a project for his communications class at Fresno State. As luck would have it, several weeks ago Brian bumped into a friend who worked for Chick-fil-A and they began talking about Brian’s class and the restaurant’s community service programs. Chick-fil-A sponsors fundraisers within the community, donating 15% of the proceeds to a designated local charity. Brian quickly realized he had both a class project and a fundraising opportunity for his favorite charity - Habitat Fresno! Brian has been volunteering at ReStore capitalizing on his background inconstruction. He thought that Habitat Fresno would be a worthy recipient of a fundraiser and the folks at Chick-fil-A Fresno were happy to oblige. The company's official statement of corporate purpose says that the business exists "to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us and to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A."(www.chick-fil-a.com) The chain invests heavily in community services and scholarships. They also believe that everyone, employees as well as customers, deserve a day off, so all Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed on Sundays. The fundraiser for Habitat Fresno was held on Monday, May 4th at Chick-fil-A, located at 8040 N Blackstone Avenue in Fresno. This tasty event raised $137.00! Brian also set up a wheel-of-chance where diners could spin for prizes and coupons. They raised another $27 for ReStore. Our thanks to Brian Allbritton and Chick-fil-A Fresno for their service the community and the work of Habitat for Humanity Fresno County.
