Mel's Diner presents a 'Hummer of a Summer'

Mel's DinerSouthwest Florida’s Kitchen” gives guests a chance to win a Hummer H3 this summer.
 
Bonita Springs, Fla. –Mel’s Diner is giving customers a new reason to enjoy the summertime – and its made-from-scratch comfort foods – with a “Hummer of a Summer” chance drawing benefiting Kids with Cancer.

All proceeds from Mel’s Diner’s donated Hummer H3 will benefit The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida through Barbara’s Friends, The Children’s Hospital Cancer Fund.

Mel’s recently purchased and donated the SUV to the organization, which is now giving Mel’s customers a chance to “win a key to the H3."  Each Mel’s location, as well as the Big Al’s Sports Grill in Bonita Springs, will have chance tickets for their guests. The event, which will run for 12 weeks, will officially kick off on Aug. 1st and will run thru Oct. 27th.

“Our children are our legacy,” said Chris Karakosta, CEO for Creative Restaurant Management, the parent company for Mel’s Diner and Big Al’s Sports Grill. “Every parent wants their child to grow up happy and healthy, and we are excited to support such a worthwhile cause.”

No purchase is required to receive a chance to win, but if guests choose to make a donation to the organization, checks can be made payable to Lee Memorial Health System Foundation.  

The winner will be selected on Oct. 27, 2006 at the Miramar Outlets in Estero, FL. during the 5th Annual 95.3 OLZ Helping Kids with Cancer Radiothon.  The raffle winner need not be present to win, but everyone is invited to attend.  

Founded in 1989, Mel’s Diner prides itself on family-friendly service, high value and made-from-scratch comfort foods. Currently, the chain boasts 10 locations throughout southwest Florida and plans to add at least four more stores by 2007, including spots in Naples, Cape Coral and Sarasota.
