OLENJACK'S GRILLE HELPS NONPROFITS FUNDRAISE WITH NEW 'CHARITY REWARDS PROGRAM'

Arlington, Texas (June 15, 2009) – Olenjack's Grille has introduced the "Charity Rewards Program," a new program designed to give nonprofits and churches a fundraising boost during this challenging economy. Under the Charity Rewards Program, nonprofits can work with Olenjack's Grille to organize a special event on Sundays or Mondays. Olenjack's will help promote the event in the community and give back 10% of the event's proceeds to the charity.

"We are very community and service focused at Olenjack's Grille," said owner chef Brian Olenjack. "This is just one more way for us to show our support of the great causes in our area. We're very pleased to expand our existing charitable relationships as well as to gain new non-profit partners."

During its pilot run of the Charity Rewards Program, Olenjack's has donated nearly $4,500 to local charities since February and has hosted organizations such as Trinity United Methodist Church, Lamar High School, Duff Elementary, ReMARKable Foundation, and others.

Olenjack's is also an active contributor and volunteer with more than 30 Tarrant County organizations, including AISD, SafeHaven, American Heart Association, Aledo Athletics, the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, and many others. Since its inception, Olenjack's has participated in more than 100 charitable food drives, celebrity chef events, classes, and tastings in the community. Recently, it received the Salvation Army of Arlington's distinguished "Company of The Year" Award.

"We are just elated about Olenjack's new charity program," said Dr. Scott Youngblood, Senior Pastor of Trinity United Methodist Church. "We like it because the events are easy to organize and it allows us to leverage our existing network. Our members enjoy eating out especially when it supports the church. Now this gives us a way to raise funds for church mission projects while having fun. We've already received about $1,000 in donation money from several Olenjack's fundraising events."
