Sisters Supporting Sisters

The company I work for is Neighborhood Restaurants, which owns and operates Zipps Sports Grills http://www.ZippsSportsGrills.com and Goldie's Sports Cafe http://www.ValleySportsGrills.com . This company is family owned and has been operating in the Valley for over 13 years. We have a total of 8 locations as of now (7 Zipps and 1 Goldie's). For years now the owners have wanted to do a philanthropic event and finally this year we are going to see their vision come to life.
During the week of July 26th, 100% of our company's net profits will be donated to Childhelp http://www.childhelp.org . This will be an incredibly large some of money for a company of our size if we did nothing to promote it; however, if we do make the effort to spread the word and create some buzz, this donation can grow to a sizable amount.
If any of our lovely alums live near a Zipps location or close to Goldie's, I would just like to urge you to stop in during the week of July 26th to help Phoenix's children in need. Childhelp is headquartered in Scottsdale, and has been in operation for more than 50 years. We are really hoping that our donation will give them the means they need to continue their efforts to meet the physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs of abused, neglected and at-risk children.
I'm spearheading this project so obviously I would like to see it be a HUGE success.
