announces new Dine To Donate program

In the spirit of giving back

to the community, Johnny Carino's restaurant next to Fayette Pavilion

announces the start of a new Dine To Donate program, designed to offer

not-for-profit organizations an opportunity to earn money for their causes.

"I am proud to offer the

use of my restaurant to help the community I work in," said general

manager Eric Ferrell. "The Dine To Donate program is a fun and enjoyable

way for people to gather together to eat and raise money for organizations

that they care about."

The Dine To Donate program

is simple in design. A not-for-profit organization is selected from submitted

applications and a date for the event to occur is scheduled. The organization

selected then goes about the job of inviting as many people as possible

to attend the event.

On the evening selected, invited

guests visit Johnny Carino's between 4-10 p.m. to enjoy a delicious

Italian dinner. When the guests pay their check, they identify themselves

as a Dine To Donate participant. Their server at the end of their meal

collects a copy of their receipt. At the end of the evening, the receipts

collected from the Dine To Donate participants are tabulated and 10 percent

of the total amount of the participant's bill before tax is given
