Donation Establishes Event as Largest Annual Fundraising Event for Houston Food Bank

HOUSTON, September 19, 2011 – At a reception hosted by Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House, Houston Restaurant Weeks founder and chair Cleverley Stone announced a record-breaking donation of $800,000 to the Houston Food Bank. With the most successful results in the event’s history, Houston Restaurant Weeks 2011 is the Houston Food Bank’s largest annual fundraising event. Since 2003, the philanthropic culinary event has raised more than $1.7 million to fight hunger in Houston; last year’s event generated more than $575,000.

Houston Restaurant Weeks 2011 brought 142 Houston eateries together to help fight hunger with special menu offerings. From Aug. 1 -31, all participating restaurants offered three- or four- course dinner menus for $35, donating $5 to the Houston Food Bank. In addition, select restaurants offered two- or three-course lunch menus for $20, with $3 going to the Houston Food Bank.

A record 3.8 million page views of the website at www.Houstonrestaurantweeks.com were reported by ContentActive, Houston's leading web and mobile technology company and provider of the web and mobile sites.

“The success of Houston Restaurant Weeks is a testimony not only to our city’s wonderful restaurant scene, but to our city’s charitable heart,” said Cleverley Stone. “The generosity and enthusiasm of our participating restaurants, diners, media and sponsors were the keys to generating our largest donation to the Houston Food Bank to date. We have all worked together to raise this record-setting donation to fight hunger in our community.”

“Through Cleverley's leadership, Houston Restaurant Weeks is our single largest annual fundraising event,” noted Brian Greene, President of the Houston Food Bank. “This infusion of funds comes at a time when poverty is driving even more people to seek help from our network of food pantries and other hunger relief partners. We are grateful to the restaurant community for making such a generous commitment to support the Houston Food Bank and to the many thousands of diners who participate. On behalf of families who struggle with hunger, we thank Cleverley and the restaurants for this outstanding contribution.”
