One of the best fundraising ideas EVER.
A whole bunch of restaurants in Illinois have come together and decided to donate the profits from their desserts for one week to disaster relief for the tsunami victimes.
In response to the recent tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia, the Illinois Restaurant Association has organized "Desserts for Disaster" Week, to take place from January 24 - 29, 2005. Participating restaurants will contribute the weekly profits from their dessert sales to the American Red Cross.
Here's a couple of the participating places:
- Harry Caray's Restaurant
- Lou Malnati's Pizzeria
- Mike Ditka's Restaurant
- White Castle
- The Signature Room at the 95th
- Alexander's Steakhouse
Click here for a full list of restaurants. Some restaurants have different level of contribution, so check the site for the details.
