| Rory
Day at Whole Foods |
For one
day each quarter, every Whole Foods store donates 5% of its sales
to a charitable cause in its community. On August 31, the supermarket
chain's Deerfield store chose the Rory David Deutsch Foundation to
be the recipient of the program's proceeds.
In addition, the Deerfield store launched a bimonthly "Rory Day"
children's activity program in October.
"Working with Mindy and Ross Deutsch, we designed the Saturday
program to be in line with the Foundation's mission. Each Rory Day
is a celebration of what it means to be a child and have fun,"
explained Paula Kucharski, Whole Foods' director of marketing and
community affairs.
The first Rory Day last fall featured a pumpkin-decorating contest.
A "Challah for the Holidays" class followed in mid-December,
during which children shaped challah loaves and decorated a giant
gingerbread house.
As there is not a charge for these special Rory Day programs, although
Whole Foods requests that each participant make a donation to the
Rory David Deutsch Foundation. For more information on future classes,
please call Paula Kucharski at 847/444-1900. |
