We are happy to participate in many of the neighborhoods and community events organized by our Guests, including fundraiser 'Pasta Partnerships' and 'Scrip School Programs.'

Each of the community objectives gives our restaurant the ability to support local events and provide charitable donations. This program is administered locally by our General Managers.

If you would like to have Pomodoro participate in your neighborhood event or fundraiser, help arrange a Pasta Partnership or set up a Scrip Program, please: Contact the General Manager of your local Pomodoro.

PASTA PARTNERSHIPS:
For Pasta Partnerships, we will donate 10% of the total food sales (excluding alcoholic, non alcoholic beverages, tax and gratuity) for a specific Partnership day or night in our restaurant, based on all guests participating in the fundraiser.

SCRIP PROGRAM:
With our Scrip Program, we can sell $500, $750 or $1000 worth of gift cards at a special deal for you to then sell off at full rate in order to help your fundraising activities:

o Buy $500 gift cards and we will give you $550 value in gift cards
o Buy $750 gift cards and we will give you $850 value in gift cards
o Buy $1,000 gift cards and we will give you $1,150 value in gift cards
o Buy $2,000 gift cards and we will give you $2,325 value in gift cards
o Buy $5,000 gift cards and we will give you $5,550 value in gift cards
o Buy $10,000 gift cards and we will give you $10,750 value in gift cards

For all smaller denominations you wish to purchase from $25 and upwards, we have partnered with Great Lakes Scrip (www.glscrip.com). You can find us listed under the "Dining - Casual" section in the drop down menu under 'P' in the "Retailer List."

Please note: For our Pasta Partnership and Scrip programs, you must prove that you are raising money for a 'non-profit' organization and show a tax ID to comply with our programs.

Scrip programs are NOT available during the month of December

For charitable donations and general fundraisers, keep in mind the following Good Neighbor Program guidelines…

Our participation in events and/or sponsorships requires:
o A formal, written request from the sponsoring organization.
o The event is held within a 1-2 mile radius of our restaurant.
o The event benefit (or may be of interest to) our loyal Guests

Although we'd love to say yes to every request, we realistically cannot. We usually decline requests for:

o Support of individuals
o Political organizations
o Endowments
o Organizations that have funds available to pay for the products
o We may also decline requests due to budget constraints or events we have previously committed to.
