First, we would like to thank all of our fans for making our first year a part ofShare Our Strength's, Dine Out for No Kid Hungry campaign so successful!
We want to highlight some of our great moments from this year.
We had 62 Pita Pit locations participate. They each donated $0.50 for every fork style sold to Dine Out for No Kid Hungry, while also taking customer donations. To make this fun for everyone, we had a company-wide competition to see who could raise the most money for Dine Out for No Kid Hungry!
Our winner was Kristi Grob, owner of the Billings, MT Pita Pit! Kristi, her staff, and her amazing customers raised an impressive $1,505 in customer donation and $99 in salad sales, making her grand total $1,604 in donation to Share Our Strength!
The race between our stores was tight though! Second place went to Tom & Annette Cruse who raised a total of $1,473 from their Sioux Falls, SD store and third place went to Jim Talley who raised $1,088 from his Great Falls, MT store!
The amazing efforts between our participating stores and fantastic customers was recognized by Share Our Strength, who nominated Pita Pit for the prestigious "Rookie Of the Year" Award. The award is given out with many others at the Share Our Strength Conference of Leaders every year.
We had the fantastic opportunity to attend the Conference of Leaders held October 15-17th.
Though we unfortunately did not win the "Rookie of the Year" award, we are very proud of our company as we share the nomination with some very large brands including Chicago Metallic, Jimmy Dean and Williams-Sonoma.
Please enjoy these photos that were taken at the Conference of Leaders.
