Meet
Rachel Juhl
and
Jess Perrie,
the fun, creative, and energetic founders of
The Cheeseletes
,
a fiscally sponsored program bringing a love of all things cheese and a dedication to supporting the community together! Both women, professionals in the restaurant industry, bring their networks together to effect change through avid outreach and creative fundraising.
Find them on social media hosting awesome
Spirit Week Challenges
and engaging with their supporters through
hilarious videos

This week we spoke to Rachel, who goes by Juhl, and learned about how their program has been rocking the 5k fundraising space. This year they've had to go virtual but that isn't stopping them!
