The Habit Burger Grill Fundraiser is a Success!

The leadership of the Sacramento PRSSA Chapter would like to thank everyone who participated in yesterday's fundraiser at The Habit Burger Grill.

Although the official numbers are not yet available, from the number of customers in attendance, to how hard PRSSA members worked to promote the event, the results are looking bright.

(EDIT: we raised over 200 dollars, thank you to everyone who attended and helped promote this event!)

Below are some additional pictures of the event, which include regular customers, PRSSA members, and friends all enjoying great food and great company.

Hope to see everyone again soon for our next fundraiser!
