Fuddrucker’s “Forkin’ it out for a great cause” to benefit Pagnozzi Charities

Fuddrucker’s restaurants in Fayetteville and Rogers will be “Forkin’ it out for a great cause” Monday, April 16th and Wednesday, April 18th.  A percentage of their proceeds will benefit the Pagnozzi Youth Sports Scholarship Fund. 

On Monday, April 16th, Pagnozzi Charities founder, former Cardinals player Tom Pagnozzi will be on site at the Fayetteville location (3675 N. Mall Avenue) from 5:00 to 7:00 pm to sign autographs. He will be at the Rogers location (3001 Market Street) from 5:00 to 7:00 on Wednesday, the 18th.

Customers may also purchase tickets for a chance to win a 2007 Razorback Baseball team-autographed helmet.  A drawing will be held at both locations and you do not have to be present to win.

Pagnozzi Charities granted over 900 sports scholarships in 2006 for children in kindergarten through 8th grade. Scholarships were given for equipment purchases, travel expenses, uniforms, camp registration fees, recreational program fees, monthly instructional classes, and Razorback game tickets for families. Scholarships are granted based on a household’s financial income according to standards set by national guidelines of the Department of Human services.

Pagnozzi Charities is a 501c-3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible. Pagnozzi Charities hopes to reach a goal of providing 1150 scholarships in 2007.

The mission of Pagnozzi Charities is to open the door of athletic experience to disadvantaged youth. Our goal is to advance the well-being of youth by giving them the same opportunity as their peers and introducing them to positive life experiences.
