Jeff Solon, Cheshire superintendent, announced a partnership with the United Way to run a fundraiser featuring Fasha's Chocolates of Waterbury.

"This year, they're engaged in a unique fundraiser featuring Fasha's Chocolates out of Waterbury. For every chocolate bar you purchase, you have an opportunity to win a prize," Solon said, describing a grand prize that will allow one winner to serve as a Fasha's chocolatier for a day and additional gift-card prizes worth up to $500.

Solon used a playful rhyme to introduce the effort and linked purchases to community support, saying the fundraiser could help neighbors who need clothing, care, or heating. He asked listeners to place orders using a QR code or any available online link.

He also said Cheshire Public Schools employees receive an extra entry for each candy bar they buy, and that employees who participate will have "more opportunities to tour Fasha's chocolates." The announcement was informational; the transcript records no formal motion, vote, or board action.

Those interested in participating were told to follow the posted QR code or link to order bars and enter the prize drawings.
