Chevy's donates to PAL Center
As a way to support its Performing Arts and Lecture (PAL) Center, Saratoga High School invites people to eat at Chevy's. Before heading to the Chevy's at Westgate Mall on the evening of May 8, people can pick up a flyer at the Saratoga High office after 4 p.m. When patrons show restaurant personnel the flyers, Chevy's will credit 20 percent of their receipts to the Saratoga High School Foundation for the PAL Center.
