Great NH Restaurants Raises $63,000

BEDFORD, NH - The annual Thanks For Giving event held at all T-BONES and Cactus Jack’s restaurants, proved to be a successful effort once again.

The 2015 effort raised $63, 870 that will support the Granite State Children’s Alliance and Veterans Count program. This is a favorite event for restaurant goers, as each time they visit and donate $5 to FEEDNH.org (Great NH Restaurants’ Charitable Trust) they receive a $10 off dining coupon for a future visit, according to a press statement.

The annual fundraiser started in 2005, and has now raised an impressive $313,870. Joy Barrett, Executive Director of the Granite State Children’s Alliance and Joseph Emmons, Executive Director of Easter Seals Veterans Count will benefit from this year’s annual endeavor.

“Everyone feels good about working together on this unique approach to fundraising. We are so happy to be able to make such a difference in our communities,” states Tanya Randolph, Advocacy and Community Relations Administrator of Great NH Restaurants. In 2014, $50,000 was given to four non-profits: Families in Transition, Manchester School of Technology, SJCS Meals on Wheels, and New Horizons.
