Dine to Donate for PACT DECA!

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 22, from 4-8 p.m. and enjoy a delicious meal while supporting our PACT DECA students! Head to Chanticlear Pizza (Ramsey), where 15% of all guest sales will be donated back to DECA. Whether you choose to dine in, grab takeout, or order delivery, your meal makes a difference. Just be sure to mention PACT DECA to your server or include it in the notes section when ordering online. It’s an easy (and tasty!) way to support our students—hope to see you there! Questions?
