Little Italy is teaming up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help
make dreams come true for children with life-threatening medical
conditions. Now through June 27, Maggiano's(R) guests can support
the Make-A-Wish Foundation in three different ways. Chefs at the
Italian-American restaurant have developed special menu options for
the "Eat-A-Dish for Make-A-Wish" program. Diners can choose from
four different items including Goat Cheese and Olive Bruschetta,
Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb, Shrimp and Scallops with Orzo, and Fresh
Berry Tiramisu. For each of these menu items ordered by guests at
locations nationwide, Maggiano's will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. Customers can also make a donation through the brand's
"Become a Star" program. Maggiano's will display star cut-outs
bearing the participating guest's name during the four-week
promotion. Limited edition Make-A-Wish Gift Cards will be on sale,
with $1 from each purchase going to the foundation. "Sharing our
success with the people and communities we serve is a
responsibility deeply rooted in the Maggiano's culture," said Tom
Ennis, vice president of marketing for Maggiano's Little Italy.
"Through our partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, we are
proud to again share the power of a wish(R) with deserving families
all over the country." "The Eat-A-Dish for Make-A-Wish promotion
has been such a great success since it started," said David
Williams, Make-A-Wish Foundation of America president and chief
executive officer. "It's given Maggiano's diners a convenient way
to donate, and it's helped each of them become more familiar with
the incredible wishes we grant. We truly appreciate having a
partner like Maggiano's that does so much to help us accomplish our
wish-granting mission." This marks the third year Maggiano's has
offered the promotions to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
