Join our 3rd annual Food for Thought, an annual event that raises funds to benefit Mission Graduates. We are a nonprofit organization that increases the number of youth from San Francisco’s Mission District who are prepared for and complete a college education.
The concept of Food for Thought is simple:
o Your restaurant, along with others from the Mission District, commit to contributing a portion of your sales on one night — Wednesday, November 9, 2011– to help pave the way to college for young people who live in your community.
o Mission Graduates commits to promoting restaurants through an extensive promotional campaign and to filling seats and increasing revenue at your restaurant on November 9.
This event gives your restaurant increased media exposure; it increases sales on a Wednesday night, introduces your food to new customers, and is an easy way to demonstrate your commitment to youth in the Mission.
For for information, call or email Art at art@missiongraduates or 415.864.5205 x12.

We’re thrilled to have worked with 35 great Mission District restaurants, a dozen sponsors, and 50 volunteers to make this our most successful Food for Thought.
After most of our raffle and restaurant donations have been tallied we’re close to our goal of raising $50,000 for our youth college-access programs.
Cheers to a great 2011! Can’t wait to reconnect in a few months.
