Restaurants raising funds for breast cancer research

In recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, two metro Atlanta restaurants are offering a special cocktail to raise funds, according to a press release.

Popular spots Joey D’s Oak Room in Dunwoody and New York Prime in Buckhead are both part of Atlanta-based Centraarchy Restaurants’ 11th annual “Pink Kiss for the Cure” campaign that runs throughout October. All 14 restaurants across the Southeast are mixing up a limited edition drink called “Pink Kiss” martini with 50% of the sales going to breast cancer research and care.

Centraarchy Restaurants has raised more than $195,000 for the Pink Kiss for the Cure campaign over the last 10 years, said CEO Vince Van Brunt.

To participate, guests can order the “Pink Kiss” at any Centraarchy Restaurant, including California Dreaming (Augusta, Ga., Charleston, S.C., Columbia, S.C., Greenville, S.C., Spanish Fort, Ala., and Surfside Beach, S.C.), Carolina Roadhouse (Myrtle Beach, S.C.), Chophouse ‘47 (Greenville, S.C.), Chophouse New Orleans, Gulfstream Café (Garden City, S.C.), Joey D’s Oak Room (Atlanta) or New York Prime (Atlanta, Boca Raton, Fla. and Myrtle Beach, S.C.).

The Pink Kiss campaign contributions for this year will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the largest and best-funded breast cancer organization in the United States. This money will go toward breast cancer research and mammogram costs for the underserved locally. Guests are encouraged to share photo-worthy images on Facebook or Instagram using the hashtag #Pinkkiss.
