Eat Chick-fil-A for a good cause Wednesday

WELLINGTON - Chick-fil-A at the Mall at Wellington Green, 10300 West Forest Hill Blvd., will be donating 20 percent of sales its collects Wednesday, Oct 29 to the Learning Tree.

The Learning Tree is a yet-to-be opened special needs preschool. The location of the future school is also, as of now, undecided.

Founder of the nonprofit corporation Wende Rosado said, "There's really only two preschools in Palm Beach County that offer what these children really need."

Rosado was inspired to open her own preschool after her difficult experience of getting her daughter into a special needs preschool.

"In one years time the change they did in my daughter's life was amazing," she said.

Rosado said it's been a struggle finding big sponsors and donors to help get the preschool up and running. She is excited that Chick-fil-A decided to help.

"Chick-fil-A has been awesome and they've really backed us up," she said.
