great food, great cause :: parallel17

In light of the recent catastrophic and devastating earthquake in Haiti, people all over are scrambling to help in any way shape or form.  The casualties and destruction caused by this earthquake is unfathomable and heart-shattering.

There are many ways to get involved - donate, raise funds, volunteer, support local businesses who are raising funds for this cause.

Parallel 17, a Vietnamese Bistro with a modern twist, is among one of Denver restaurants that are getting involved and aiding this effort.  It's an excellent restaurant to begin with (...and don't get me started on their Pommes Frites - Yukon + Sweet Potato Fries). But today and tomorrow, they will be donating 25% of all proceeds to a hospital in Haiti, which is one of the few that is still standing and treating the wounded victims.  I plan on having dinner there tomorrow with some friends so if anyone else wants to dine out for a good cause,
stop by the restaurant at some point during the day/night.

Westword also has a list of restaurants and fundraising events to choose from.... so get involved and give what you can because every dollar helps.

Also, stay tuned for another event that I'll be posting within the next couple of weeks to also aid the same cause.
