Garrett Signature-Striped Pink Tin

Molise PR client and Chicago favorite Garrett Popcorn Shops is rolling out the pink ribbon in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

During the month of October, Garrett Popcorn Shops will donate 10 percent of Garrett signature pink tin sales to Chicago-based A Silver Lining Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides access to cost-free mammograms.

Founded by Chicago native and breast cancer survivor Dr. Sandy Goldberg – who you might also recognize as NBC Chicago’s health and nutrition expert – A Silver Lining Foundation’s mission is to ensure dignified, respectful and equal access to quality cancer education and services for all, by creating meaningful partnerships with community, advocacy and healthcare organizations.

Check out the video below for an introduction to A Silver Lining Foundation, with a special appearance from another Molise PR client, Imerman Angels.

The Garrett signature-striped pink tin is available for purchase in stores and online, filled with your choice of traditional Garrett flavors like CaramelCrisp®(which can be selected with almonds, pecans or cashews), CheeseCorn™, Buttery, Plain and the famous The Chicago Mix - a blend of savory CheeseCorn™ and rich, sweet CaramelCrisp®.

Chicago Private Dining Steakhouse Group & Futures Industry Assocation Host Benefit for Food Depository

Sep 272011

The Futures Industry Association’s Futures Cares “Great Chicago Steak Out” fundraiser is set on Wednesday, Oct. 12 with a goal to raise $500,000 for the  Greater Chicago Food Depository.  For the first time, Molise PR client Lawry’s The Prime Rib  will join other members of the Chicago Private Dining Steakhouse Group including Benny’s Chophouse, Mastro’s, Gibson’s, Morton’s, Carmichael’s, Fleming’s, Harry Caray’s, Ruth’s Chris and David Burke’s Primehouse to provide all of the food for this private event, which draws attendees from the Futures Industry Association Expo.

The Private Dining Steakhouse Group was founded in March of 2004 by Kelly McGrath, who currently serves as the Events Director at Mastro’s Steakhouse, with the support of Lynette Valez of Gibson’s Steakhouse and consists of the top steakhouses in the downtown Chicago area that also offer private dining.  What makes this group original is that clientele and information is shared amongst the competition and used to improve guests’ overall dining experience.  If a steakhouse can not accommodate a guest, that person can be referred to the group who will then contact the guest if they have availability.  This often proves convenient for the busy corporate planner or an out-of-town individual who may not be familiar with area restaurants.

The Greater Chicago Food Depository, Chicago’s food bank, is a nonprofit food distribution and training center providing food for hungry people while striving to end hunger in our community. The Food Depository distributes donated and purchased food through a network of 650 pantries, soup kitchens and shelters to 678,000 adults and children in Cook County every year. Last year, the Food Depository distributed 69 million pounds of nonperishable food and fresh produce, dairy products and meat, the equivalent of 140,000 meals every day. The Food Depository’s programs and services for children, older adults and the unemployed and underemployed address the root causes of hunger. For more information, log onto http://chicagosfoodbank.org or call 773-247-FOOD.

This fundraiser arrives at a critical time for the Food Depository, which is serving 59 percent more individuals at pantries versus three years ago.
