SAUGUS — Local businesses will raise money for Saugus Public Schools for the 25th year in a row.
The 2017 Taste for Education fundraiser will be Monday, May 1 from 6-9 p.m. at the Danversport Yacht Club in Danvers. The annual event is sponsored by the Saugus Business Education Collaborative.
Guests mingle while tasting menu items from participating restaurants. The evening is billed as an opportunity for business owners to meet and form relationships with each other. Last year, more than 330 people attended and more than $17,000 was raised for the fund.
Each Saugus elementary school principal chose to use the money to purchase Chromebooks for students.
