Ruby Tuesday to Make Charitable Donations for Every Lemonade Sold on National Lemonade Day
July 31 2017 - 9:00AM
Ruby Tuesday, Inc. announced it will offer its handcrafted
non-alcoholic lemonades, made with real fruit, at half-price for
National Lemonade Day on Sunday, August 20. For each lemonade
purchase, the Company will donate the value of a meal provided by
No Kid Hungry®, a national organization working to end childhood
hunger.* The restaurant presents a great opportunity for families
and the community to join together and enjoy refreshing lemonades
while helping children in need.

From July 31 to August 27, 2017, the Company will also accept
donations as continued support for No Kid Hungry®. Guests will have
the option to donate the amount of their choice at checkout. Last
year, through its National Lemonade Day efforts, Ruby Tuesday was
able to contribute enough for over 500,000 meals for the charity
and is excited to do even better this year.
Every dollar donated to No Kid Hungry can help feed a child 10
meals. Its sustainable solution to hunger connects kids to
existing nutrition programs like the national school breakfast
program and the summer meals program.
The lemonades are handcrafted and made-to-order with real fruit
and juices. Guest can choose from delicious flavors such as peach,
wild berry, mango, raspberry or strawberry. In addition to
non-alcoholic lemonades, Ruby Tuesday will offer spiked versions of
the flavored lemonades made with award-winning Tito’s Handmade
Vodka. These cocktails will only be available for a limited time
from July 31 through August 27, 2017.
Ruby Tuesday encourages guests to take a break from the summer
heat to enjoy refreshing lemonades with friends and family while
contributing to a great cause. The Company also offers a Kids Eat
Free program every Tuesday night from 5 p.m. to close, where guests
can enjoy a FREE kid’s meal with adult entrée purchase. Learn more

to Share our Strength, Inc. (d/b/a No Kid Hungry) for each lemonade
