One of our CFHS students, Evie, is on the road to recovery, and there’s a sweet way for Tucson to rally around her. Swing by Chill N7 Nitrogen Ice Cream, mention “Evie’s Fundraiser” when you order, and a portion of your purchase goes directly to support Evie and her family.

Grab a treat, spread the word, and let’s come together for one of our own. Every cup makes a difference.
