Pronto Pasta Hosts the First Dine Out for Education Week Fundraiser
Locally Owned Restaurant to Donate 15 Percent to Local School PTAs the Week of Jan. 24-29
Raleigh, NC, January 22, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Jennifer and Ed Schrage, owners of Pronto Pasta (http://www.prontopasta.com), have announced that they are hosting the first Dine Out for Education Week, taking place Monday, Jan. 24 through Saturday, Jan. 29. During this time, the restaurant will host a competition in which it tracks sales brought in by students, families and staff members who represent Joyner, Conn, Root and Green elementary schools. Pronto Pasta will then donate 15 percent of the restaurant’s total sales back to the individual schools’ PTA organizations. Once the event has closed, the school that has brought in the highest number of sales throughout the competition will win a free catered lunch from Pronto Pasta for their faculty during Teacher Appreciation Week in March.
