The Clear Creek Education Foundation (CCEF) is gearing up to host its sixth annual “Dine Out to Donate” on Monday, October 7.

The process is simple – citizens enjoy a meal at a participating restaurant, and in return the restaurant will donate a portion of the proceeds to CCEF to benefit the students and teachers of the Clear Creek Independent School District. All of the proceeds will support CCEF’s many programs including Educational Grants, National Board Teacher Certification and Clear Horizons Early College High School.

This event brings fun competition district wide between all CCISD schools. The top three elementary, intermediate and high schools with the highest percentage of participation based on student population will each win: 1st - $1,000, 2nd - $500 and 3rd - $250. Overall, the top school wins the “Top Dog Trophy” which comes with very special bragging rights.

Maggiano’s Little Italy - Baybrook has been a longtime supporter of Dine Out to Donate and is passionate about providing schools and nonprofit organizations with fundraising opportunities.

“It has been a pleasure participating and helping raise money for education and the educators,” said General Manager Eric Landgrover. “What CCEF does touches the lives of every child in our community and Maggiano’s love being a part of that.”

Established in 1992, CCEF is a 501(c)3 organization located in League City, Texas. Comprised of volunteers with a passion for excellence, the Foundation raises funds to enrich academic achievement within the Clear Creek Independent School District (CCISD).
