BRAVO! and BRIO Restaurants Nationwide
Encourage Guests to Donate to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry®
Campaign with Special Incentives
BRAVO! Cucina Italiana and BRIO Tuscan Grille locations across
the nation, owned and operated by BRAVO | BRIO Restaurant Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ: BBRG), thank their guests and employees for rallying
around Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign this September.
BBRG restaurants collected enough donations, totaling over $108,000
from both their online and in-store promotions, to help connect
children in need across the country to 1 million meals.*
BRAVO! and BRIO joined thousands of restaurants nationwide,
which invited guests to dine out this September to support the No
Kid Hungry campaign and its work to end childhood hunger in
America. From Sept. 15–30, 2013, BRAVO! and BRIO restaurants across
the country offered guests the opportunity to donate $5 or more on
their check to No Kid Hungry, and in turn receive $5 off their next
visit of $15 or more, valid through Oct. 31, 2013.
Also from Sept. 15–21, 2013, BRAVO! Cucina Italiana and BRIO
Tuscan Grille donated $1 to the No Kid Hungry campaign for every
new “Like” on BRAVO!’s and BRIO’s Facebook pages.
“Giving back to important causes like No Kid Hungry is one of
our greatest priorities, not only at BBRG, but at each of our
restaurants nationwide,” said Saed Mohseni, BBRG Chief Executive
Officer. “We are very proud to support the No Kid Hungry campaign
and appreciate the enthusiasm of our team members and generosity of
our guests.”
The No Kid Hungry campaign is working to end childhood hunger in
America by ensuring children have the healthy food they need, every
day. No Kid Hungry connects children in need to effective nutrition
programs, like school breakfast or summer meals, and teaches
families how to cook healthy, affordable meals at home.
Every $1 donated counts and can help connect a child in need
with up to 10 meals. Learn more and make a donation at
NoKidHungry.org.
*This amount was determined on the basis that $1 can help
connect a child with up to 10 nutritious meals, which is, in turn,
based on the individual experiences of Share Our Strength’s grant
recipients. It is provided to illustrate how community investments
can be used to help end childhood hunger. Each contribution made to
Share Our Strength represents a contribution to its original
mission. Donations will be used to reach the highest number of
children facing hunger in America. Share Our Strength is a
non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
