Team Schostak Family Restaurants' 100 Eateries to Host Statewide Fundraiser for JDRF

TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants (TSFR), a Michigan-based family-owned restaurant group with an extensive portfolio of 100 casual, quick service and family dining restaurants throughout the state, is helping to fight Type 1 Diabetes by hosting a statewide Dine to Donate event on Thursday, August 18. The event will take place at all of TSFR’s Michigan Applebee’s, Olga’s Kitchen, MOD Pizza and Del Taco restaurants, with the funds benefiting the JDRF (formerly known as Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). TSFR Director of Marketing Barb Pasciak made the announcement.

Throughout the day, 10 percent of all guests’ food sales from TSFR owned and operated 66 Applebee’s, 25 Olga’s Kitchen, five MOD Pizza and four Del Taco restaurants will be donated to JDRF. A leading global organization, JDRF is exclusively focused on ending Type 1 Diabetes, which is an autoimmune disease impacting 1.25 million Americans. The funds will be earmarked toward accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat Type 1 Diabetes and its complications.

“As a proud long-time supporter of JDRF, together we are helping to turn ‘Type One Diabetes into Type None’ and improving the quality of life for many individuals in the communities we serve,” said Pasciak. “The money raised through our Dine to Donate will ensure that JDRF’s funding for its 50 human clinical trials can continue to grow and expand. We look forward to bringing the community together as one to fight this disease and find a cure.”
