UNOs + Hudson Schools = 'Get Smart Hudson' Doughrai$er

Leading audio visual systems integrator, CCS New England is teaming up with the two UNO locations in Nashua to raise money for the Hudson School District through the “GET SMART HUDSON!” Dough Rai$er.

With “GET SMART HUDSON!”, guests of the UNO locations in Nashua are able to support their Hudson Public Schools now through November 3, 2013. Guests bring tickets with them to either UNO Nashua location and 20 percent of their bill will go directly to their school of choice. The school that raises the most funds will receive a SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard Model 660 (retail value of $1,760) donated by CCS New England. 

Parents, students, members of the community and local businesses are asked to consider the UNO Nashua locations as their restaurant of choice from now through November 3, 2013 to support “GET SMART HUDSON!.” “GET SMART HUDSON!” Dough Rai$er tickets for each school are available on the Hudson School District’s website, www.sau81.org, as well as both of the UNO Nashua Facebook pages:

www.facebook.com/unonashua.dwh and www.facebook.com/unonashua.amherst.

Dough Rai$er tickets will be valid at both UNO Nashuas located at 304 Daniel Webster Highway and 593 Amherst Street. Tickets are valid for use in the restaurant and lounge as well as for take-out, delivery and catering.

“We are excited and proud to support such a great opportunity for Hudson schools”, said Rene LaChapelle, general manager, UNO on Daniel Webster Highway.

Sean Lavery, general manager, UNO on Amherst Street and Hudson resident said, “I look forward to taking part in this program because I feel very strongly about our role in supporting the community and in particular the schools. I know how much time and effort parents and teachers put into the education of our kids.”

Bryan Lane, superintendent of the Hudson School District said, “The Hudson School District looks to create partnerships with all businesses in our school community and we appreciate their efforts.”

When the program concludes in November, a celebration party will be hosted to provide checks to all the schools and reveal the school that will receive the SMART Board. UNO Nashua, CCS New England and Hudson Schools will invite supporters, students, staff, local officials and members of the community to celebrate the program’s success.

Participating Schools in the “GET SMART HUDSON!” fundraiser program include:

• Alvirne High School
• Hudson Memorial School
• H.O. Smith School
• Hills Garrison Elementary
• Nottingham West Elementary
• Library Street Elementary

Earlier in 2013, CCS New England and UNO teamed up with Haverhill Public Schools for the first ‘GET SMART’ Dough Rai$er program. The program raised more than $7,300 for the schools. Tilton School of Grove Street had the highest earnings and received the SMART Board donated by CCS New England.

“We are honored to support our local community through this fun and interactive program. It’s important to us to support education and Dough Rai$ers is a great program that will benefit the entire Hudson School District,” Chris Gamst, Vice President of CCS New England.
