Dining for Hope
What is Dining for Hope?
Dining for Hope is a great way for restaurants and bars to engage with Van Andel Institute Purple Community. 100% of the funds raised through our Dining for Hope program benefit cancer, Parkinson’s and other research at Van Andel Institute.
Who Can Get Involved?
Any restaurant or bar that has a hunger for Hope!
When does Dining for Hope Begin?
This program runs year-round. Locations select which month(s) they would like to participate!
Past participants:
September 2019
October 2019
How does the program work?
Each participating restaurant or bar determines a day, week, month (or more!) to dedicate to raising funds to support cancer, Parkinson’s and other research at Van Andel Institute!
Ideas for raising funds can include:
- Give back a portion of sales from food or non-alcoholic beverages
- Percentage of overall sales
- Hope icons to sell for $1
- Host a “Pack the Pub” night
- Perhaps you already have a give-back program – we would love to collaborate with you!
What can Purple Community provide?
- An information packet with the following:
- Promotional materials (POS inserts, posters and generic Dining for Hope table tents)
- Program outline
- Purple Community bracelets/trinkets
- Purple Community rack cards
- Hope icons that can be sold to customers for $1
- Purple Community can advertise a “Pack the Pub” night for customers to wear purple and
- order the give-back feature, if one has been identified
- A current merchandise list if you wish to sell our merchandise at your location
