The 6th Annual Blue Plate Special, a citywide child abuse prevention campaign benefiting The Thread Alliance, is accepting applications from Greater Houston area restaurants to participate in the April 2018 National Child Abuse Prevention Month campaign. The deadline to sign up is Wednesday, February 28, 2018.
On Sunday, April 1, 2018, The Thread Alliance will launch the Blue Plate Special, its annual month-long campaign encouraging Houstonians to stand up for child abuse prevention and dine out at participating Blue Plate Special restaurants.
In an effort to spread awareness and education, The Thread Alliance is inviting local restaurants to join the movement towards healing and prevention. Restaurants can support the campaign by offering a “Blue Plate Special” to their guests throughout the month of April. Participating restaurants will donate a percentage of the special menu item to The Thread Alliance. Proceeds from the 6th Annual Blue Plate Special supports The Thread Alliance’s mission of achieving the ultimate goal of ending the cycle of child abuse by raising awareness and providing resources.
Restaurants interested in participating will determine the dish and percentage of proceeds that will be donated from each “Blue Plate Special”. A minimum of 20 percent from each dish is required to participate. The Thread Alliance provides all marketing materials and will feature each restaurant in press releases, online promotions, direct mail, email blasts, social media, advertising, and The Thread Alliance’s Blue Plate Special webpage.
