That’s the Rainier Beach High School tennis team, and one player works at the restaurant, so they’re having the fundraiser here. Their coach Irvin MacQuarrie is a West Seattle resident too, and explains:

The team is made up of immigrant families and we are doing a fundraiser this Wednesday night from 3-9 pm at the West Seattle Chipotle in The Junction. The team receives 50% of proceeds excluding alcohol and gift card purchases. This allows the team to buy uniforms for the kids to keep and to put on an end of the year banquet. Patrons must mention that they are there to support the team or the team doesn’t get credit.

    The Chipotle fundraiser is great!!!  This school really needs to help.  Although I never go to Chipotle, I will tonight.  They should think about planting a few kids by the front door to remind patrons walking in to mention the team.  Good luck to Rainier Beach!  And thank you, Chipotle.

      Kathleen – the coach in fact mentioned they’ll have players canvassing the area during the fundraiser to let people know.
