Extract - RESTAURANTS GEAR UP FOR BIG UNICHEF PUSH

Northcote is delighted to support this appeal on Monday 7th February 2005

Chefs and restaurants from around the country will unite on Monday night – 7th February to take part in UNICHEF, a massive fundraising effort which should see the industry raise a six-figure sum for victims of the Asian Tsunami. The appeal has touched all parts of the sector’s workforce, with staff and waiters agreeing to forego wages, suppliers donating food, and restaurateurs contributing a percentage of the night’s takings.

On top of this UNICEF has devised a simple method to encourage customers to give extra donations on the night. Every participating restaurant will be sent 50 water bottle jackets, which can be slipped over the neck of water bottles served on the night. On each collar, there’s an explanation of how customers can donate money to UNICEF’s children emergency appeal.
