In August of 2021 the Pizza Ranch restaurant support center raised over $10,000 for TESFA during a staff meeting. All staff were invited to purchase raffle tickets to win prizes that were donated from various people and partners. Pizza Ranch Inc. also offered a matching gift for the amount raised during the raffle. The total amount raised was over $10,000!
