SPARK Biz Recap:
Support the Businesses That Support Our Schools
Our SPARK Business Partners contributed $115,000 this year to support music, art, STEM, counseling, wellness, leadership, and more across our schools. They also step up with generous givebacks—like Dine & Donate nights at Left Bank and Flores, and the incredible Bare Skin Marin promotion on their new neuromodulator Daxxify, which has already raised over $6,000 for SPARK (and continues through the end of 2025!).
Many of these businesses are owned by district families, and they invest in our schools because they believe in this community. Let’s show them that their support comes back to them. From realtors, car-buying services, interior designers, clothing shops, orthodontists, tutoring companies, and more—please consider choosing our business partners first whenever you can.
