Austin Carrabba’s Italian Grill Helps Fight Breast Cancer

AUSTIN, TX — The Austin Carrabba’s Italian Grill is teaming up with The Breast Cancer Charities of America to raise money in the effort to fight breast cancer, officials said Wednesday.

More than 200 Carrabba’s restaurants throughout the U.S. will host a four-course Think Pink Wine Dinner for $40 on Wednesday, Oct. 23, at 6:30 p.m. of which $2 of each dinner purchased will be donated to The Breast Cancer Charities of America. The local restaurant is located at 11590 Research Blvd.

"We’re proud to support the Breast Cancer Charities of America and their integrated approach to cancer care,” Mike Kappitt, president of Carrabba’s Italian Grill, said in a prepared statement. “Carrabba’s has a passion for helping people and this partnership allows us to do that.”

There are several ways for Carrabba’s guests to support iGoPink/BCCA through this partnership:

• RSVP for The Breast Cancer Charities of America Wine Dinner. Carrabba’s Italian Grill will donate two dollars for every Wine Pairing Dinner sold on Oct. 23. Diners can reserve their seat at www.carrabbas.com/carrabbascares.*
• Round Up Your Check. All week long from Monday, Oct. 21 through Saturday, Oct. 27, Carrabba’s guests can also opt to round up their check to the nearest rounded dollar or make a monetary donation of their choice that will go directly to Breast Cancer Charities of America. *

Funds raised by Carrabba’s Italian Grill will go to iGoPink/BCCA’s main program services such as the Help Now Fund, a financial assistance program to support women undergoing treatment with their basic living expenses, the Feeling Beautiful Again program, a program that supports the emotional hardship women experience while undergoing treatment, and their state of the art Educational program that serves to education men and women on proper breast cancer prevention and survivorship.

The BCCA is the only non-profit bringing the “integrated cancer care” message to the women of America. They bring together the different health care and allied health care disciplines—oncology, nursing, psychology, sociology, nutrition, exercise physiology, spirituality and more.
