April 2nd - Save the Date! Take a Break from Cooking & Help a Homeless Pet

February 17, 2012 16:51 by Donna

Local readers - I have an exciting announcement. A few weeks ago I received an email from Chili's Restaurant that said they were offering to host fundraising events for local charities. I contacted the volunteer coordinator at Kent Animal Shelter about it, arrangements were made - and now Chili's in Holtsville is having a "Give Back Day" on April 2nd, 2012.

All you have to do is eat at Chili's on 50 Middle Avenue in Holtsville, NY anytime between 11:00 AM and 11:00 PM on April 2nd, and Chili's will donate 10% of the cost of your meal to Kent Animal Shelter.

That's it. You get to take a break from cooking, and Kent raises some dough!

You need to bring a "Give Back" flyer with you and hand it in with your check for Kent Animal Shelter to get credit for the event.

You can get the flyer HERE.

Also, if you want to help even more, you are welcome to hand out flyers at Chili's in Holtsville any day prior to April 2nd, so that regular patrons will know about the event. That way, if they were planning to eat there anyway, they can bring a flyer with them and 10% of their meal will go to Kent.

Please spread the word about this awesome event and considering eating at Chili's in Holtsville on April 2nd. Most of us go out to eat pretty regularly, and if by doing something we normally do we can also raise some money for a great cause, how cool is that?

 

 

 

 

Kent helps dogs like sweet Myla find homes of their own.

UPDATE: This dog has been adopted!!! Yay!!!

Donna that was really sweet of you to call the animal shelter and help arrange this awesome event, I only wish I was closer so I could eat at Chili's.  

I am going to share it on my facebook page.

Thanks Jodi. Actually, I emailed her, and then she made all the arrangements with Chili's...but I'm glad I saw it and got it in motion. We're going to go down there on a Monday night and hand out some flyers, plus Nick will pass them out at his karate school, which is right around the corner from Chili's, so hopefully that will help get a lot of people through the door.
