June 20 2018 - 8:00AM
BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. (NASDAQ:BJRI) has joined the Alzheimer’s
Association® as the proud Presenting Sponsor of The Longest Day, a
day about love dedicated to all those affected by the Alzheimer’s
disease. BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse will also be providing
visibility to the cause in restaurants during June, Alzheimer’s
& Brain Awareness Month, to invite guests, team members,
friends and community to get involved.
Throughout June, BJ’s guests who donate a minimum of $1, at the
end of their meal, to the Alzheimer’s Association will get a FREE
Pizookie® on their next visit. On The Longest Day, Thursday, June
21, 2018, guests will receive a FREE Pizookie® with any $9.95 food
purchase. Additionally, for every Pizookie® dessert ordered on June
21, 2018, BJ’s will donate $0.25 to the Alzheimer’s
Association.
Held annually on the summer solstice, The Longest Day symbolizes
the challenging journey of those living with Alzheimer’s disease
and their caregivers. Participants will do what they love–biking,
hiking, playing bridge, swimming, knitting and more–to honor a
caregiver, someone living with Alzheimer’s, or someone lost to this
devastating disease. Together, participants will raise funds and
awareness to advance Alzheimer’s Association care, support and
research programs.
