Waitresses at Fairfields restaurants always appreciate generous tips. But if you go to the Colony Grill next Tuesday, your gratuity will go a long way to help a greater cause. Moms Making a Difference, a team of Fairfielders raising money for the American Cancer Societys Relay for Life, will take on the role of waitresses at the Post Road restaurant March 22. All of the tips they collect that night will go toward cancer research.
This circle of moms all have been touched in some way by cancer, and we are humbled by the disease. Relay motivates us to do what we can to help find a cure, said Amy Crawford, Moms Making a Difference team captain. We are always looking for great ways to raise money for relay, involve others and have a little fun while were at it. And we love the fact that the Colony Grill feels the same way.
Tuesdays work is just one of the ways theyre raising money for Fairfields Relay for Life event, which will take place June 4. Last year, more than 30 Fairfield teams raised more than $340,000 for cancer research.
The 20 moms on the team will be on duty from 5 to 10 p.m. March 22. As an added bonus, the Colony Grill will raffle two tickets to a New York Rangers game to raise even more for Relay for Life.
This is a perfect opportunity for Colony Grill to reinforce our dedication to our community and contribute to a great cause, said co-owner Ken Martin. Were extremely proud of these women who are backing up their commitment with action. Its an inspiring story from an inspiring group, and we cant wait for the big night!
