#64 Zach Strief’s Dream Big Foundation and Phil’s Grill raise funds for CASA!
Phil’s Grill Donates Proceeds from the Specialty Burger and Ballot Collections.
Phil’s Grill is celebrating the Saints march to the Super Bowl by co-hosting a fundraiser for CASA along with Saints Offensive Tackle #64 Zach Strief. Zach Strief created the Dream Big Foundation that serves to enrich the lives of children in our community. The Dream Big Foundation has pledged to match Phil’s Grill’s contribution to CASA. Zach has created Phil’s Grill’s January Burger of the Month “#64 Eligible.” Phil’s Grill will donate the proceeds from each “#64 Eligible” sold. Guests can vote for “Their Favorite Saints Linemen of All Time.” The offensive line candidates include- Jim Dombrowski, Stan Brock, Willie Roaf and Brad Edelman. All ballot donations ($1 per vote) will be donated to CASA. Ballots will be randomly drawn at the end of the month for prizes including a tour of the Saints training facility, dinner at Phil’s Grill with Zach Strief and autographed Saints pennants, footballs and aprons.
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) New Orleans trains diligent, committed everyday citizens to stand up for abused and neglected children — Volunteers are taught how to advocate for the best interest of foster children who are under the jurisdiction of Orleans Parish Juvenile Court. By getting involved, volunteers can help break the cycle of child abuse. Being a CASA Volunteer is an opportunity which has the ability to impact multiple generations in the future.
Zach Strief, co-host of the fundraiser said, “We are honored to partner with a New Orleans institution like Phil’s Grill and to be able to help the amazing children and volunteers associated with CASA. While we know that everyone will enjoy the “#64 Eligible” burger, we ultimately hope that the partnership will create awareness surrounding the great efforts of CASA.”
“I am really humbled to partner with Zach and Mandy. They’ve shown a true commitment to the community and to the kids specifically. Their dedication is contagious and inspiring,” explained Phil de Gruy, owner and operator of Phil’s Grill.
GIVE THE LINEMEN SOME LOVE continues throughout the month of January at Phil’s Grill. Phil’s Grill is a locally owned and operated burger joint. PHILANTHROPY is Phil’s Grill’s charitable organization that supports local schools, churches and community groups.
Get to Phil’s to try “#64 Eligible” today! You WON’T be disappointed–and you’ll help the special and amazing people of CASA! Tell ‘em Mandy & Zach sent ya!
