Shari’s Restaurants are proud to be part of the communities we serve, and are committed to giving back to help support the charitable needs of our friends, families and neighbors.

Shari’s corporate sponsorship and support is concentrated on the needs of the young and the young-at-heart. These diverse groups at opposite ends of the age spectrum are often the ones with the largest needs, unable to provide for themselves. They also represent the best of a vibrant family, with children offering the hope for the future, and seniors providing the wisdom and connection with the past.

Through a combination of gifts, sponsorships, discounts and donations, Shari’s has provided charitable support in the following ways…

For the Young:

• Shari’s Grip It & Rip It Golf Tournament benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland – Now in it’s 10th year, the 2005 golf tournament raised over $108,000 to support the work of the Boys & Girls Clubs.
  
• The Forgotten Children’s Fund – Shari’s Seattle-area locations participate in this yearly effort to help provide holiday gifts to children who would otherwise receive none.
  
• School Auction Donations – Shari’s responds to the need for donations to school, church, and other charity auctions held by non-profit (501C) organizations in our communities.
  
• School Scrip – Gift Certificates are provided at a 10% discount to school districts offering a scrip program as an ongoing fundraising effort.
  
• Certificates of Achievement – Shari’s feels strongly about encouraging positive actions in young people. As a result we created the Certificate of Achievement Program designed to help teachers reward elementary and middle school children for positive actions, attitudes and achievements. The certificates provide a two dollar discount on Shari’s food, beverages and dessert and are available for any school in our communities.

Requests for donations should be faxed to (503) 605-4294. For other requests, please contact Shari’s Marketing Department.

For the Young-At-Heart:

• Honored Citizen Cards – Seniors earn FREE Meals by having their frequent guest card stamped each time they eat at Shari’s. Honored Citizen benefits begin at age 55 at Sharis!
  
• Honored Citizen Menu – Shari’s offers one of the largest senior menus available in family dining, featuring special breakfast, lunch and dinner entrees with smaller portions at preferred pricing.
  
• “Timeless Treasures” – Shari’s sponsored this antique appraisal event which raises funds to continue the ombudsman and senior support services of Elders In Action.
