D’Angelo and Papa Gino’s Launch Annual Coupon Campaign to Support Easter Seals RI and the Genesis Fund

March 6, 2012 – D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches and Papa Gino’s restaurants kicked off their 35th annual coupon campaign this week to support Easter Seals RI and The Genesis Fund.

From now through April 1, guests visiting any participating D'Angelo and Papa Gino's restaurants in New England will have the opportunity to add a $1 donation to their food purchases to support these two nonprofit organizations.

As a thank you, they will receive a coupon book worth more than $55 in combined savings for D’Angelo and Papa Gino’s restaurants, AAA, the Boston Cannons, Boston Duck Tours, the Yawkey Way Store, iParty, the New England Revolution, the Portland Sea Dogs and Showcase Cinemas.

Since it began in 1978, the coupon campaign has raised more than $3.6 million for Easter Seals and The Genesis Fund.

“For 34 years, D’Angelo and more recently, Papa Gino’s have been proud supporters of these two great nonprofit organizations. The awareness and assistance that both Easter Seals and The Genesis Fund provide to our communities is essential for children and adults with disabilities,” said Rick Wolf, president & CEO of Papa Gino’s and D’Angelo. “We are happy to uphold this tradition and thank our team members and guests for their continuous support in our fundraising efforts.” 

The money raised at each D’Angelo or Papa Gino’s restaurant goes directly to local Easter Seals services, which provide equal opportunities for children and adults with disabilities to live, learn work and play. Easter Seals offers technological assistance, employment and training services, recreational activities, youth transition and leadership programs, veterans’ services, rehabilitation services and public awareness programs.
