Roadtrips, Fundraisers and a Giveaway!

(This has been moved from NerdFamily Food)

So who loves Sweet Tomatoes or Souplantation (depending on location;)? And how does helping support Boys and Girls Clubs of America? Me too!

Sweetie, the beloved mascot of Sweet Tomatoes and Souplantation, recently kicked-off a Great American Road Trip to help raise money for Boys & Girls Club of America. In each tour city, 20 percent of the entire day’s sales will benefit the local chapters of the Boys & Girls Club! And, Sweetie will be making special guest appearances at select restaurant locations in each market. Guests located outside one of the 12 tour stops can still celebrate May’s Great American Road Trip in stores and follow Sweetie online throughout his travels via a map that will show him moving across the country.

Here is the schedule of the remaining stops!

May 20 – Downtown San Jose, CA restaurant location from 4-5pm

May 20 – Fremont, CA restaurant location from 6-7pm

May 20 – Pleasanton, CA restaurant location from 7:30-8:30pm

May 24 - Los Angeles – TBD

May 25 - Orange County – TBD

May 26 – Encinitas (San Diego area) location from 4-6pm

But if you are going to miss out on this charity promotion you can join them to help support Easter Seals in June! From June 1-30, guests who visit any restaurant location in the Pacific Northwest will have the option to donate $2 to Easter Seals, raising money and awareness for children and adults with disabilities in the community. In exchange for the $2 donation, guests will receive a bag of cookies and a coupon for their next visit to Sweet Tomatoes. In addition to the Pacific Northwest, this will also be available in restaurant locations in the following areas: Chicago, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado and Utah.
