Local Restaurants, Breweries and Cafes Partner to Support Children in Need
Blue Skies for Children is thrilled to announce a new opportunity for community members to dine out and give back in September. From September 6th through the end of the month, community members are invited to dine at participating restaurants and cafes, with a portion of the proceeds going directly to support local children through Blue Skies for Children’s vital programs.
How It Works:
Special collaborations include a Blueberry Cobbler Ice Cream created by Mallard Ice Cream in partnership with Antler Baking Company and a kid Cheese Pizza from Zeeks Pizza in Bellingham. Both of these collaborations are limited offers created to focus on favorite flavors from childhood!
“We are incredibly grateful for the support of our local restaurants and the community,” said Caprice Teske, Executive Director of Blue Skies for Children. “Dine Out for Kids is more than just a fundraising event; it’s an opportunity for everyone to come together during a traditionally hectic Back-to-School month to spend time together as a family while making a lasting impact on the lives of children in our community. We hope this provides a fun and engaging way for community members to make a difference while supporting local businesses.”
Every meal purchased during Dine Out for Kids helps fund programs that provide access for low-income, homeless and foster youth to participate in on-going enrichment activities. These after-school experiences are so vital in engaging and empowering youth to learn new skills, make friends, and learn resiliency.
