DONOR STORIES: WHY I GIVE
Giving Campaign
During the month of December, the WRA Education Foundation hosts a year-end Giving Campaign to support the Foundation’s education and training programs. In addition to making a direct contribution, we offer two unique ways to PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS and GIVE BACK.
Restaurant Owners
Your restaurant could be featured in our “Dine to Donate” give back program, where a percentage of your day’s proceeds would benefit the Education Foundation. As a featured restaurant, we would promote your restaurant and the “charitable” cause through multiple marketing channels, including social media, member communications and restaurant promotional pieces. It’s a great way to highlight your philanthropy…and build loyal customers.
Supplier Partners
We offer a “matching donor” opportunity that generates substantial visibility for our supplier partners. Matching donors are recognized and featured in all Giving Campaign electronic and print communications – and receive significant positive media exposure.
