Cool Fundraising Program From The Greene Turtle Restaurant

Funds for Friends: Helping Local Organizations

Helping our communities is a team sport. That's the idea behind The Greene Turtle's 'Funds for Friends' program. It's how we team up with partners in our communities to raise funds that support local organizations.

We are also proud to announce that our Funds for Friends program won the National Restaurant Association's 2011 Restaurant Neighbor Award as a State of Maryland winner. We are extremely excited to receive this honor and hope that this award is another stepping stone for our continued support of each community we call home.

Here's how it works:

On a selected day, participating The Greene Turtle locations host fund-raising events in partnership with community organizations. Our partners make each event a fantastic experience by organizing participation and handing out flyers encouraging their members, friends, family, anyone who loves a good time, to dine at The Greene Turtle that day. In fact, maybe we should call it Fun for Friends.

In return, The Greene Turtle donates a percentage of the day's receipts to that organization. And believe it, the funds really add up. We've donated nearly $1,000,000 since the program began, benefitting over 500 local organizations & community partners!   

Does your local organization need extra funds? Don't wait. Contact the manager of your local The Greene Turtle now to find out how to set up your own Funds for Friends day. It's easy!
