Taste Of The Nation

For those of you that follow us on twitter, or have dined out at any of our restaurants this week, you’ve been made aware of our participation in the Share Our Strengths™ No Kid Hungry campaign. I’d like to take a moment to thank, and appreciate those who donated this week, whether it was at one of our restaurants, or any other participating eatery – you’ve contributed to our goal of ending childhood hunger by 2015 and for that, we thank you.

With so many restaurants participating in the Great American Dine Out, it was really great to see everyone support each other during the tweet-a-thon on Monday as we all “RT’d” for each other, promoting one another’s contributions to No Kid Hungry. Speaking of the tweet-a-ton…WOW! What a success! The tweet-a-thon drew so much attention I was literally watching thousands of dollars being donated by restaurants all day long. We even got No Kid Hungry to be a trending topic in Dallas, Texas.

Although this may be the end of the Great American Dine Out for us, this is not the end of our fight to end childhood hunger in America nor is it the end of our efforts with Share Our Strengths™. As Share Our Strengths™ continues their fight year round, you can too! Visit them at http://www.strength.org/ to learn more about how YOU can get involved. As time goes on, we will continue to do our part and take action, and we hope you do the same. To everyone that dined out at a participating restaurant, this week, you took a bite out of something that really mattered. You took a taste of the nation, and made a difference with every bite.
