The Sophomore Class of 2026 is selling Quatro's gift certificates for $10 each. For every certificate sold, Quatros donates $3 back to the class. There is no expiration on the certificates, and they can be used for anything on the menu at Quatros in Carbondale such as pizza, salads, pastas, and sandwiches. These make great stocking stuffers! Please see a Sophomore for some certificates to help support the Class of 2026. If you don't know one, feel free to leave a comment and we'll connect you. The deadline for certificate money to be turned in is Tues Dec 5th.
