Cafe Nights at Ukrop's
Looking for some fun activities to bring students and families together, all while raising funds for your school? Cafe Nights at Ukrop's is a way for schools in our community to raise funds for much needed supplies and school-based activities, just by eating at Ukrop's!
All elementary and lower grade schools in the areas served by Ukrop's are eligible to participate in Cafe Nights. Participation is easy! Just follow these simple steps:
- To sign up for a Cafe Night, an authorized representative from your school will need to stop by the Ukrop's Cafe location closest to your school and fill out a participation form. Schools may participate in up to six Cafe Nights per school year.
- Cafe Nights will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 5-8pm. Only one school may participate per location per night, so be sure to stop by soon and get your school on our event calendar.
- Once your school signs up, Ukrop's will provide you with materials needed to promote the event to your students and their parents, as well as your faculty and administration.
- On your school's Cafe Night, we ask that you provide a representative from your school to stand near the cafe register and collect program vouchers and/or receipts from event participants. Purchases made by your school's attendees will be totaled at the end of the night, and your school will receive 10% of that total. Only purchases of ready-made food from Ukrop's kitchen, grill, salad bar and sushi bar will count towards your school's total.
- Within six weeks of your school's Cafe Night, you will receive a check for the total funds raised at Cafe Night.
To learn more about Cafe Nights, please stop by a participating Ukrop's location and speak with a manager.
We look forward to hosting your school at a Cafe Night soon! Click Here for Ukrop's Cafe Locations.
