Baker Bros American Deli Raises Funds For Katrina Victims Through "Dine For America"

Help in the Relief Effort by Dining Locally at Baker Bros American Deli

DALLAS, TX (Friday, September 23, 2005) - Join Baker Bros American Deli on Wednesday, October 5 to raise funds for the American Red Cross through a special nationwide restaurant fund-raiser called Dine For America. Helping those affected by Hurricane Katrina is as easy as ordering from the menu. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference to victims, their families and the work ahead following the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

Baker Bros American Deli will donate 10% of sales and collect donations from guest and staff. One Hundred percent of funds raised through Dine for America will directly support the American Red Cross Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

The Dine For America event was created by restaurants and their employees from across the country, united in the effort to help those affected by catastrophic national events.

“We want to do our part, and feel that every dollar we are able to contribute, in partnership with our employees and guests, will make a meaningful difference to the relief effort, but we need our community’s support. The simple fact is that the greater the participation by guests that day, the greater the contribution we can make to the relief effort”, said Tom Dahl, President of Baker Bros American Deli.

The idea for Dine For America began in the wake of September 11, 2001, when restaurants from around the country wanted to unify their efforts to help those effected by 9/11. Almost immediately a national "dine out" day spread throughout the entire restaurant industry, where 8,000 restaurants, their employees and guests raised more than $20 million for this cause. It was our nation’s second largest post-September 11 fundraiser.

Dine for America is promoted by the National Restaurant Assocation with help from participating restaurants.

This year’s Dine For America is expected to bring the largest participation of restaurants to collectively raise funds, surpassing the previous effort for Sept. 11, 2001.
