A Spirit Night to support the Very Special Science Fair for students in grades K-12 with significant disabilities will be held Thursday, October 6th. Chick-fil-A is sponsoring the Spirit Night to raise funds to transport students, many of whom are in wheelchairs, to the Very Special Science Fair at the Palm Beach Zoo in April.
Over 500 students with Intellectual Disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorder participate in the Fair and the cost to transport these students is over $10,000.
On October 6th go to the Chick-fil-A restaurants below and order anything on the menu. Mention the Very Special Science Fair and a portion of the sale will be donated to the Fair.

The purpose of the Very Special Science Fair is to enable students with significant disabilities the opportunity to participate in scientific inquiry and discovery. Each classroom develops a science project which is displayed at the Palm Beach Zoo’s facility.
Since its inception four years ago, the Very Special Science Fair has tripled in the number of classrooms participating in this event. Students are proud of the hard work they’ve generated in developing their science projects and thrilled at seeing them displayed at the Zoo’s Pavilion.
Linda Laverty with the Department of Exceptional Student Education says, “Bring your family and friends and join us in a random act of kindness by going to Chick-fil-A on October 6th and support the Very Special Science Fair.”
