Group Charitable Giving Program
Philosophy of GivingJakes Restaurant Group Charitable Giving Program is committed to addressing the life challenges facing individuals and families in our community by giving to organizations that have a significant, positive impact on the local community. We like to partner with organizations that seek to improve the health, resources and overall well-being of our community and its members. Our STAR Award Program is founded on the same principles as our business. We strive to be a valued community partner that has a supportive, positive impact on our neighbors.
Description
Each Fiscal quarter a STAR Award recipient is chosen to receive an initial monetary gift in the amount of $500. In addition, the recipient will be featured on our STAR Award Bulletin Board in our restaurant for a full month. This will give your organization an opportunity to display brochures, flyers, photos and other written, appropriate material about your cause to the community we serve. During the STAR Award Month, 10% of all restaurant sales for each Thursday of that month will be donated to the STAR Award charity recipient. STAR Award recipients are encouraged to spread the word and promote each Thursday's fundraising event so as to maximize your STAR Award gift.
September 2007 marks the start of the STAR Awards Program at The Garret of Campbell. The program will be rolled out at other Jakes Restaurant Group locations in the coming months.
