JJ's restaurant fundraiser update

Tomorrow, Saturday, is the day.

 

From the Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association  website:

The Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association is gathering our Restaurant Week participants and ANY restaurant who would like to participate to join in a city-wide, one day, Restaurant Week-style fundraiser. Participants will donate 10% of sales on Saturday, February 23, 2013 to the staff, families and victims of the tragedy at JJ’s.

Restaurants are also encouraged to have a “donation jar” available to accept cash or check donations from guests or employees if they’d like to contribute additional funds.

We, as restaurants and vendors, understand the overwhelming desire to help a fellow member of the restaurant community who has given so much to their neighbors and friends for so many years. It’s time to give back.

To sign up, simply email or give them a call 816-753-5222 to say you’re in by today, Friday, February 22nd.

100% of the proceeds will go to the JJ’s Restaurant Support Fund, c/o GKCRA 4049 Pennsylvania, Ste. 204, KCMO 64111
