We talk to people all the time who want to give back but don’t know how.  Or, they want to give back but don’t have a significant amount of time or money to help make a difference.  One of our goals is to make it easy for people to be philanthropic.  Purchasing our products is one way to do that, but I wanted to mention an event next week that will make it easy for you to give back.

I got an e-mail from a friend of mine earlier this week telling me about an organization he’s been working with for the past few months.  He got involved with the East Dallas Boys & Girls Club through the consulting firm he works for, and has stepped up to the plate to help manage their junior golf program.  He dedicates time every week to take a group of kids to the driving range to teach them about the game of golf and the life skills that go hand in hand with the sport: courtesy, respect, sportsmanship, etc.

To raise money for the junior golf program, my friend has arranged to have 15% of the day’s sales on Tuesday, October 6th at Half Shells Oyster Bar and Grill to go directly to the junior golf program.  Half Shells is a great restaurant itself, and you can have lunch or dinner there as you normally would while contributing to a great cause.  The restaurant is located at 6617 Snider Plaza, Dallas, TX 75205.

So if you’re looking for a way to give back, this is an excellent way to do it.  You have to eat anyway, right?  Head over to Half Shells and give back to the East Dallas Boys & Girls Club at the same time.
