A special thank you to Danny and the team (4044 N Lincoln Ave) for being such an essential partner for Raise the Sails!

Their design and printing services made everything possible — from event signage to printed materials — and their team ensured every order was complete, polished, and delivered right on time. They were responsive, helpful, and truly invested in helping our event succeed.

We are so grateful for businesses that show up for our community the way they do.

As a thank you to our school families and supporters, The UPS Store is offering 25% off any print order over $70 when you mention Raise the Sails.

If you have printing, signage, marketing, or shipping needs, please consider supporting the businesses that support our schools.

Thank you, Danny! We couldn’t have done it without you.
