The Kids In Need Foundation (KINF), a national
non-profit dedicated to providing free school supplies to
students most in need, is partnering with Carrabba’s
Italian Grill (all locations)
to host a Back-to-School Wine Pairing Dinner on Wednesday,
August 14.
Local kids, teachers and classrooms will benefit from the
proceeds of the event. Carrabba’s Italian Grill and KINF
will identify teachers with current applications on the SupplyAClassroom.org platform,
who are located near Carrabba’s restaurant locations, to
receive support from the event.
There are several ways diners can get involved to help:
· RSVP
for a Back-to-School Dinner. Carrabba’s Italian Grill
will donate two dollars to KINF for every Back-to-School
Wine Pairing Dinner sold and diners can reserve their seat
at www.carrabbas.com/carrabbascares.
· Round
Up Your Check. All week long from August 12 through
August 18, Carrabba’s Italian Grill guests can also opt to
round up their check in order to make an individual monetary
donation to KINF in the amount of the nearest rounded
dollar.
“The Kids In Need Foundation has donated over $1 Billion in
school supplies to kids most in need around the country,”
said Dave Smith, executive director of The Kids In Need
Foundation. “As back to school season approaches, we are on
a mission to ensure every child is prepared to learn and
succeed in the classroom. We are grateful to Carrabba’s for
their partnership and vison in helping us serve local
communities around the country.”
KINF’s SupplyAClassroom.org platform
is a way for local donors to locate and directly support
classrooms that are meaningful to them. Each summer,
teachers from across the country can submit a personal
statement and share how the classroom supplies will impact
their students. Donors can search for a specific teacher, a
city or state, school district and find classrooms in a
community in need of support. Donors can fund all or a
portion of the school supplies, called Classroom Supply
Boxes, or even fund multiple schools within a district.
“We are thrilled to partner with KINF and support its
important, local work in each of our Carrabba’s Italian
Grill communities,” said Mike Kappitt, President of
Carrabba’s Italian Grill. “Our guests share Carrabba’s long
standing mission to give to those in need and we look
forward to raising much needed funds for KINF through our
fundraising efforts.”
