More than 16 million American children face hunger. This September, BRAVO! Cucina Italiana and BRIO Tuscan Grille locations across the nation are joining thousands of restaurants nationwide to support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign by raising funds in their restaurants.

From Sunday, Sept. 15 through Monday, Sept. 30, 2013, all BRAVO! Cucina Italiana and BRIO Tuscan Grille locations across the U.S. will offer their guests the opportunity to donate funds to the No Kid Hungry campaign. Every donation counts, and when guests donate $5 or more, they will receive $5 off their next visit of $15 or more, valid thru Oct. 31, 2013. It’s easy to donate, as guests will be able to add their donation to their bill upon checkout.

Also from Sunday, Sept. 15 through Saturday, Sept. 21, 2013, BRAVO | BRIO Restaurant Group, Inc., (NASDAQ: BBRG), owner and operator of BRAVO!

“Everyone—private citizens, businesses, policymakers, and nonprofits—has a role in helping end childhood hunger in America,” said Billy Shore, Founder and CEO of Share Our Strength®. “I encourage everyone to dine out often at participating restaurants wherever they are this September. Then visit NoKidHungry.org to join this national movement to ensure that every child in America has access to the nutritious food they need, every day.”
