Friday, August 28th, 2009

Members of the Brain Injury Association of D.C. (“BIADC”) Board of Directors and numerous volunteers were out on the streets by Dupont Circle handing out leaflets containing a coupon to Baja Fresh all day on July 7, 2009. If the leaflet was presented to the cashier, the BIADC would receive 15% of whatever that individual purchased, without any additional cost to the consumer. Baja Fresh reported that the BIADC volunteers shattered all prior records for the amount of food sold with the coupon. The BIADC raised approximately $400 which means that approximately $3,000 worth of food was sold to customers that day that had a BIADC coupon.

Congratulations to all the volunteers for a successful fundraising event!
