BOCA RATON — Just a week and a half after it opened, BRIO Tuscan Grille at The Shops at Boca Center raised $2,700 during its “Make a Difference Monday” fundraiser for The Pap Corps, Champions for Cancer Research.
BRIO donated a percentage of all of its Nov. 21 food sales, equaling $2,700, to the local non-profit.
The Pap Corps supports research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Florida’s only university-based cancer center.
“We’re delighted to have raised funds for The Pap Corps so soon after we opened,” said Tom Race, general manager of BRIO. “In line with BRIO’s philosophy of giving back to the community, we plan to do many more fundraisers to help local charities.”
The Pap Corps is the largest all-volunteer organization in the U.S. raising money for research on all types of cancer. It has donated over $29 million in the last nine years. For more information, visit www.papcorps.org.
