Help out the JJ staff by eating at one of these restaurants tonight...

The Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association (GKCRA) is bringing together Kansas City restaurants and diners in a citywide effort to assist JJ’s Restaurant employees after a gas explosion destroyed the restaurant on Tuesday, February 19. For one day only – Saturday, February 23 – participating restaurants will donate 10 percent of sales to the JJ’s Restaurant Support Fund, a support account set up and managed by the GKCRA. The funds collected will be turned over to JJ’s Restaurant owner, Jimmy Frantze, and his management team to help his staff convalesce.

More than 120 Kansas City restaurants are currently participating, but this number anticipates increasing throughout the day on Friday, February 22. For full information and an ongoing updated list of participating restaurants for tomorrow’s benefit, please visit http://pitch.pe/13b3fb2 or the GKCRA’s Facebook page at facebook.com/GKCRA.

In addition to the ten percent donation from the participating restaurants, diners will also have the chance to make freewill donations at the participating restaurants.
