Summer is here … time to eat cookies!
by Beth
For a while there we were worried it might never happen, but the weather finally did warm up, and summer is here at last. So stoke up the barbecues! Enjoy some outdoor festivals! Eat bags of cookies!
Eat cookies? You read that right. Sweet Tomatoes’ annual cookie campaign has become a summer tradition here at Easter Seals. This year, the promotion has expanded to include three new markets. Sweet Tomatoes Restaurants in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington are participating in the 2011 fundraiser.
From now until the end of June, select Sweet Tomatoes restaurants will donate $1 to Easter Seals for each bag of homemade cookies sold. And that’s not all — restaurant guests will also receive a coupon for a future visit as a thank you for their cookie purchase.
Sweet Tomatoes has supported Easter Seals for five years and has raised nearly $130,000, making them an Easter Seals National Corporate Partner. Donations collected from the campaign support Easter Seals programs for people with autism and other disabilities.
So go ahead and indulge in a bag of homemade cookies without feeling guilty! Each and every time you and your family visit a Sweet Tomatoes in June, you can help support essential Easter Seals programs in your community!
