Bonefish Grill to Host Sept. 19 Fundraiser for Together We Cope

Bonefish Grill in Orland Park will host a fundraiser for Together We Cope on September 19 at 15537 South LaGrange Road.

When diners present a special event-day flyer from 11 am to 4 pm, Bonefish Grill will donate 15 percent of the total check to the Tinley Park-based prevention age

ncy, which bridges the gap for local families in temporary financial crisis, enabling them to stay in their homes.
The event will be Bonefish Grill’s second fundraiser for TWC. The restaurant selected the agency as the beneficiary for its grand opening in 2013, selling tickets for a tasting event that quickly sold out.

“Bonefish Grill is one of the area’s most popular restaurants, and we’re honored and grateful to be chosen again for their support,” said Kathryn Straniero, executive director at TWC. “Everyone’s really excited about the Sept. 19 event.”
Nick Kapellas, managing partner at the Orland Park restaurant, said, “Bonefish Grill is committed to partnering with local charities to help create a better community that gives back.”

Getting a flyer in advance is the key to supporting TWC. Those who plan to attend the benefit can pick up flyers at Together We Cope, 17010 South Oak Park Avenue in Tinley Park, from 9 am to 3 pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and from 2 to 7 pm on Thursday.

Participants are encouraged to reserve a spot for the fundraising event by calling Bonefish Grill today at 708.873.5170.
