items ordered, Maggiano's will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. Restaurant patrons may also contribute to the
Make-A-Wish Foundation's cause by purchasing Maggiano's gift cards.
For every $25 sold, Maggiano's will contribute $1 to the
Foundation. Additionally, guests may donate through the brand's
"Become a Star" program. Participating guests will have a star
cut-out with their name displayed inside the restaurant during the
four-week promotion. "Thanks to the generosity of our guests and
devoted teammates, last year we were able to donate more than
$180,000 to our friends at the Make-A-Wish Foundation," said Wyman
Roberts, president of Maggiano's Little Italy. "It is our hope that
this year's Eat-A-Dish for Make-A-Wish will reach even greater
heights to provide to families in need." "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. I truly
appreciate having a partner like Maggiano's that does so much to
help us accomplish our wish-granting mission." This marks the fifth
year Maggiano's has collaborated with the Make-A-Wish Foundation on
