SEATTLE--(Business Wire)--
To make a great Cause-Mo, start with two parts Restaurants Unlimited, Inc.
(RUI), add one part breast cancer awareness and finish with a splash of fun. For
the second straight year RUI aims to donate over $30,000 to the Susan G. Komen
for the Cure, the world`s largest network of breast cancer survivors and
activists dedicated to the fight against breast cancer. 

The program is simple: For every cosmopolitan cocktail purchased during the
month of October at any RUI restaurant, $1.00 will be donated to the local Komen
affiliate and the guest will receive a pink cause bracelet. RUI will also donate
$1.00 for every nonalcoholic fresh mint Mojito purchased. 

Since the inception of the program in 2007, the amount donated has increased
from $2,188 to just over $30,000. This year RUI aims to grow that number even
larger October 1st through October 31st. 

"Susan G. Komen is an outstanding organization with a great cause," says Norman
Abdallah, CEO of RUI. "Many of our employees, guests, family and friends have
experienced the battle against breast cancer first hand, and it is important for
us as a company to do all we can to help raise awareness and find a cure. One of
our RUI`s guiding principles is We Give, and this year I hope to give more than
ever before."
