East Side Mario’s announced today that it will be partnering with Movember Canada to raise funds and support the organization’s mission to change the face of men’s health. With the shared value of community impact, East Side Mario’s is encouraging their “famiglia” to join them this month as they pledge to donate at least $50,000 to Movember initiatives. For every dine-in and takeout purchase made between November 1st and 30th, East Side Mario’s will be donating $0.25.
“Our values of celebrating family and fun while doing good makes us a perfect fit for a partnership with Movember Canada,” says Paul Pascal, COO, East Side Mario’s. “We are focused on bringing friends and family together in our restaurants, and opening the door to having important conversations about men’s health”.
Movember Canada is the leading global charity dedicated to men’s health, funding more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world since 2003, with over 300 of those based in Canada. With a focus on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer, Movember invests in research and support programs that enable men to live happier, healthier and longer lives.
“We’re incredibly excited to be working with East Side Mario’s heading into our 16th annual Movember campaign,” says Todd Minerson, Movember Canada Country Director. “The dinner table is often a place where families and friends come together, where amazing memories are made. With East Side Mario’s support, we know there will be some important conversations about men’s health happening this month at locations all over the country.”
Guests at East Side Mario’s will be able to join in on the action and make their own donation at the restaurant if they choose. In appreciation, they will receive a Movember moustache cutout where they can write a message and post it on the growing Movember wall of fame.
There are many ways to get involved, from GROW-ing a moustache, MOVE-ing in the name of men’s health, HOST-ing a Mo-ment for Movember, or even setting your own unique challenge and MO-YOUR-OWN-WAY.
