CAN BURRITOS MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS?


We like to think so. Each and every Chipotle restaurant is an active part of the neighborhood around it- because without a neighborhood, you couldn’t have a neighborhood burrito joint.

3rd Annual Haley Pontiac- Chipotle Bryan Circuit Race
Location: Richmond, VA
Date: May 2009

Burritos on wheels? We got to sponsor a circuit race in Richmond with over 250 local cyclists participating. Burritos and chips and salsa were passed out to fuel the riders. Primes (pronounced "preem”-- which is your French lesson for the day) are awards given for riders who reach milestones during a sprint, and in this ride the primes were burrito bucks. It was exciting to see the riders put the pedal down when they knew a burrito was on the line!
Catch 25 Foundation Fundraiser
Location: New York City
Date: December 2009

We were pretty excited to work with the Yankees World Series Champion Manager Joe Girardi's Catch 25 Foundation (which is dedicated to supporting individuals and families around the country suffering from ALS, Alzheimer's, cancer and fertility issues.) The West 45th Street Chipotle held a fundraiser that raised over $5100!
Stone Barns Center's 6th Annual Harvest Fest
Location: Stone Barns Center (a little north of NYC)
Date: October 2009

As a lead sponsor at this awesome event at Stone Barns Center, Chipotle got to help support a cause we believe in (www.stonebarnscenter.org.) The day included Chipotle soft tacos being served along with other local, organic, and sustainably raised foods. While people were busy eating, kids (of all ages) were busying themselves playing versions of Cornhole on our Chipotle Cornhole boards.
Skidmore Unplugged
Location: Skidmore College (Saratoga Springs, NY)
Date: November 2009

When Skidmore College told us they wanted to reduce energy consumption during the month of November--we had to get involved. What could make living "unplugged" better? Knowing that if you were part of the winning dorm you would get a burrito party. It's a lot easier to turn off the lights when there is a burrito in your future.
Opening Day at Copper
Location: Copper Mountain
Date: November 2009

We set up our super sweet Chipotle tent in Burning Stones Plaza and played Corn Hole with Front Range skiers and riders throughout the day. People got to go home with free cards, lanyards to hold their season passes and lip guac.
Heritage High School Basketball Team Dinner
Location: Littleton, CO
Date: February 2009

Chipotle held a team dinner for the varsity girls and boys Heritage Basketball teams right before State Tournament time at the Littleton Chipotle restaurant. The players and coaches got to fuel up for the big tourney and show off their "Powered By Chipotle" t-shirts before they took off.
Momma's Organic Market
Location: Peoria, AZ
Date: September 2009-April 2009

Chipotle is the presenting sponsor of Mommas Organic Market, a farmers market in Peoria, AZ started by two stay at home moms two years ago. Chipotle sets up a tent at every market and makes fresh guacamole and tomato salsa on site from ingredients we purchase at the market, when available, to sample to the market customers. If you're in, or around Peoria--you should stop by!
Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Association
Location: Granville, OH
Date: February 2009

The Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Association was formed in 1979 and is a membership-based, grassroots organization, dedicated to promoting and supporting sustainable, ecological, and healthful food systems.

We wanted to educate this years audience about Food With Integrity. Even better was the fact that Joel Salatin (of Polyface Farms, and a long time friend of Chipotle) happened to be the keynote speaker for the conference.

We got to present our materials to all 850 guests and get them up to speed on how Chipotle is helping their cause.
RAY'S INDOOR MOUNTAIN BIKE PARK
Location: Cleveland, OH
Date: 2009

This past year Chipotle sponsored Ray’s Indoor Mountain Bike Park, a one-of-a-kind indoor bike park in Cleveland, Ohio. The park is filled with over 103,000 square feet of jumps, ramps, mountain-like terrain, and some space to relax and hang out with friends. We sponsor the Chipotle Beginner’s Room for kids new to riding and we also offer limited delivery hours for online orders to the skaters throughout the busy weekends.

Chipotle also works with Ray's to sponsors 3 major events that draw professional BMX, mountain bikers, and active teens from across the country.
Jingle Bell Jog: Miramar Military Base
Location: Mira Mesa, CA
Date: December 2009

We supplied the participants of the Jingle Bell 5k with gourmet burritos for their eating enjoyment (to be consumed AFTER the long run--not during it.) There were 150 runners and they definitely worked up the hunger needed to polish off their burritos.
Big Brothers/Big Sisters Holiday Event
Location: San Diego, CA
Date: December 2009

We partnered with the Big Brother’s Big Sister organization of San Diego and Children’s place for a charitable holiday event. We hosted 25 "littles" and their "bigs" or families for a free holiday meal. In addition to a Chipotle lunch, each “little" received a $50 gift card to go shopping at Children’s Place.
High School Culinary Class Demonstrations
Location: Austin, TX
Date: September 2008-May

We presented to several high school culinary classes across South and Central Austin. Students learned about Food With Integrity, career opportunities with Chipotle, cooking skills and techniques. Best part? Teaching them how to make real life, Chipotle-style guacamole (a life skill every high schooler should learn.)
All Faiths Food Bank Healthy Kids Training
Location: Sarasota, FL
Date: September 2008- May 2009

Healthy eating is a big part of what we do at Chipotle. So, in partnership with the local Sarasota All Faiths Food Bank we got to help educate kids on healthy eating. Kids got to complete an interactive guacamole demonstration with Chipotle at their school to learn about healthy and sustainable foods.
Stapleton All Sports Youth League Sponsorship
Location: Denver, CO
Date: October 2009

We had a free night at a youth sports organization called Stapleton All Sports. It was a huge success with the kids and their families! We offered a free kid’s meal for the kids who wore their Stapleton All Sports t-shirt and brought in a flyer from 4-8. In addition, we also took food out to their end of season practice and made kid’s meals on site… and brought burritos for the parents.
