2020 Graduates won't be able to celebrate in the usual ways and for many, the future feels uncertain as schools and jobs have been disrupted—and Chipotle is launching a Graduation Gift Card Give Back program to honor students graduating this year graduates and support their future educational pursuits. Chipotle will be matching 10% of special graduation-themed e-gift card purchases and donating to Scholarship America so that students, parents and communities can get the support they need. As an extra incentive, the first 5,000 Chipotle customers who purchase a graduation-themed e-gift card are eligible to receive a digital BOGO offer.
Chipotle is also recognizing and aiding students in other ways, such as with its virtual prom afterparty on Instagram where one lucky attendee received a $25,000 scholarship.
