For Our City - Chandler

In a heartwarming testament to community spirit and collaboration, the South Carolina-based nonprofit, Going Places, joined hands with The DeeAnn Flores Schertz Foundation and several more Chandler organizations for a remarkable tribute. In an unforgettable act of kindness, every student at Hartford Sylvia Encinas Elementary was gifted their very own bike, dubbed "The Blessing" in honor of DeeAnn Flores Schertz. A dedicated teacher and angel to many at Hartford Elementary, DeeAnn's spirit rode through our hearts as 830 bikes were revealed. Today, not only celebrates what would have been DeeAnn’s 60th birthday but also honors the anniversary of her passing. This gesture of generosity embodies her lifelong mission to spread happiness and fulfill the needs of her Hartford students. For Our City Chandler was proud to be part of this extraordinary day! It's a powerful reminder of how coming together can create something truly special, bringing joy to children's lives in honor of someone who spent hers making theirs better. DeeAnn - your legacy pedals on through every smile and every mile these children will journey.
