How to Make a Cause-Mo for the Cure

The program is simple: For every cosmopolitan cocktail purchased during the month of October at any RUI restaurant, $1.00 will be donated to the local Komen affiliate and the guest will receive a pink cause bracelet. RUI will also donate $1.00 for every nonalcoholic fresh mint Mojito purchased.

Since the inception of the program in 2007, the amount donated has increased from $2,188 to just over $30,000. This year RUI aims to grow that number even larger October 1^st through October 31^st.

"Susan G. Komen is an outstanding organization with a great cause," says Norman Abdallah, CEO of RUI. "Many of our employees, guests, family and friends have experienced the battle against breast cancer first hand, and it is important for us as a company to do all we can to help raise awareness and find a cure. One of our RUI's guiding principles is We Give, and this year I hope to give more than ever before."

About Susan G. Komen for the Cure

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, Komen has invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill their promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
