Support Prevent Child Abuse America by eating at some of your favorite restaurants on the Corner: it’s a win-win. Kappa Delta’s fall philanthropy is helping you eat well and give back, and here’s how.
From 5-10pm on Wednesday, October 12th, 15 Corner restaurants will donate a portion of your purchase to PCAA if purchased with a Corner Crawl flier. 80% of the proceeds will be donated to Prevent Child Abuse Virginia to support local kids, and the remaining 20% will go to Prevent Child Abuse America.
Learn more about Kappa Delta’s shamrock philanthropy and its partnership with PCAA here. Check out which of your Corner favorites will be participating in this year’s Corner Crawl benefiting PCAA:
1. Got Dumplings
The home of UVA’s much-beloved dumplings, Got Dumplings is a go-to Corner restaurant. Get your dumplings solo or with one or two sides for a filling meal.
#SpoonTip: Try a bubble tea with your dumplings.
2. Campus Cookies
Campus Cookies: the original Corner cookie shop. Support this local business and treat yourself to some cookies. Bring a dozen home to your roomies and you’re guaranteed to win roommate of the week. Read about why you should support Campus Cookies here.
3. Fig Bistro and Bar
This Mediterranean-inspired restaurant gets its name from the simple slogan: “Food Is Good.” Make sure to share an order of Fig’s bomb beignets with your friends.
