Chances are you’re probably going to go out to dinner with friends and family at some point in the next week or so, right? Why not make it a fundraising opportunity for the Liver Life Walk?! Many restaurants will host a “Percent of Sales Night” and donate a portion of their proceeds from a designated evening to your cause. All you have to do is invite everyone in your network to come out for dinner and support your cause!
The Fundraising for Small Groups Newsletter notes that his type of event appeals to restaurants because
- It makes the restaurant look good. Giving back to the community enhances their corporate image.
- It fills the restaurant on a slow night.
- It introduces people to the restaurant that might not visit otherwise
Here are just a few of the many restaurants in the Denver area that participate in this type of program. Don’t feel restricted by this list – reach out to your favorite local restaurant too!
- CiCi’s – “Simply put - unlimited pizza, pasta, salad and dessert, plus money donated towards your nonprofit organization.”
- Noodles – “fundraising efforts through percentage of sales benefits”
- Pasquini’s – Usually give 20% of attributed sales on a Monday night to a specific organization
- Fish City Grill – “Each store chooses a charity in their area and on the First Tuesday of every month that charity will receive fifteen percent of the entire days sales.”
- Fundraising for Small Groups Newsletter includes a larger list of restaurants too.

Brooke,
ReplyDeleteI was excited to see that national restaurant chains were participating in the Liver Life Walk. I looked up our local efforts in San Antonio and I was disappointed to see no mention or participation in this event. Searching the national site http://tr.im/s3qW, I actually found no events in Texas. I did get a chance to explore the efforts of the University Health System and their efforts in liver research, so thank you for the insight.

Hi Jeff-let me clarify a bit. There is not a formal partnership between these companies and the ALF. I know that these companies participate in this type of percent of sales night program and am therefore suggesting that they might be a good place to host a fundraiser. I have worked with some of them personally and found them to be a great way to get exposure and raise some funds too! The great thing is that a formal partnership doesn't need to be in place - anyone in any city can approach a company like this and set something up for their local Liver Life Walk event!
