CT Loves Puerto Rico: Connecticut’s Hospitality Industry Bands Together to Raise Money for Puerto Rico Relief Efforts

WHAT: CT LOVES PUERTO RICO

Hurricanes Irma and María have devastated the island
of Puerto Rico, leaving millions without water, many without shelter, and an entire population without access to power. The unimaginable has happened.

CT Loves Puerto Rico is a glimpse into the soul of the Connecticut food and cocktail
community – and the heart of America’s culinary industry at large – from talented chefs and creative bartenders to dynamic publicists and brilliant journalists, all banding together with a common ethos: Make it easy, geographically and economically, for everyday Americans – many of whom have been unsure of how to take action, or are donating to a cause for the first time – to contribute in some small way, regardless of busy schedule or wallet size.

Connecticut chefs, bartenders, bakers, and restaurateurs are standing together to serve up a small offering of food and drink – inspired by the island – as tribute to this important sisterland that we will not leave behind. 100% of the proceeds generated by these dishes will be donated to Puerto Rico relief.

CT loves Puerto Rico is the second market to launch the fundraising campaign. LA loves Puerto Rico launched on Saturday, October 7th - October 14th with more than 90 restaurants and bars across the city of Los Angeles participating.

WHEN: Saturday, October 21 – Saturday, October 28, 2017
