| Rivera, Shapiro and Friends at Tonic |
As part of a month of foodie events intended to Take a Bite Out of Breast Cancer, Done Like Dundee… Gone Like Ghandi writer Anthony Rivera hosted an evening of bites to benefit Pink Jams! Tuesday at Foggy Bottom’s Tonic Restaurant.
Take a Bite Founder (and Dining in DC author) Lisa Shapiro was also on hand to greet event guests and support Anthony as a cause Ambassador.
“My sister, Christa Floresca, and her non-profit, Pink Jams!, are putting on a huge runway event later in October and this month of Take a Bite restaurant events was organized as a way to help her advocate and bring more awareness to her event and the larger cause,” explained Shapiro.
“Anthony’s involvement also resulted from breast cancer touching his family… sadly, multiple members. It’s hard when it touches those you love. But it’s fun to have his Mother here tonight having a bite with us!”
For the entire month of October, 24 participating restaurants will donate a portion of their food and beverage sales (on specific days) to support Pink Jams! A full list of venues and dates can be found on the charity’s website.
