THURSDAY JANUARY 6th is RESTAURANTS FOR RELIEF DAY

Wed, 05 Jan 2005 11:22:57 GMT

(Vancouver, BC) – “We just wanted to do something to help,” says Wild Rice co-owner Andrew Wong of his and partner Tom Poirier’s decision to raise money for the Tsunami Relief Fund. “We decided that the easiest way for us to help was to donate a portion of our receipts to the Canadian Red Cross,” says Poirier. “From there it was a matter of ‘who else can we include?’ We called a few friends and colleagues and quickly came up with 11 other restaurants willing to participate. Everyone we called was enthusiastic about the idea and eager to get involved.”
