We would like to ask a few people to write letters in the next few days. Norman Brinker who was the head of Brinker International, that started Chilie's, Macaroni Grill, On the Boarder mexican restaurants, Maggiano's Italian restaurants, passed away this week for aspiration pneumonia after his oral cancer treatments. The company has a huge history of corporate financial giving to charities. We need people (not just the OCF office) to drop them a letter asking them to consider two things. Helping THE non profit that works exclusively in the battle against the disease that he fought, and two, potentially doing some cooperative public awareness programs with us that would spread oral cancer awareness while benefitting their bottom line. I hope you will chip in to help us reach out to them in these tough financial times for OCF. Please reply to this thread if you are willing to help us with this and I will email you the details on who to contact.
Thank you so very much!

I'll write a letter. Please send me the details.
I'm in too, Megan. Just send me the details of what you want written and addresses.

The original request is from last June.
Christine:
Good eye! How'd that happen? So, there is no request for us writing letters now?
julieann
Only request that may be still current is for recipies for an oral cancer patients' cook book. You could PM megan to see if she would still need any letters written.

When I saw MikeC's offer to write a letter, I just jumped right in there and offered; had already planned on what I was going to say
Anyway, thanks for catching that. MikeC, yoo-hoo!

Ive seen newer members revive old posts by responding to them. I just happened to remember it was from a long time ago. I didnt remember Megan asking for anything lately. Julieann, you are always so helpful
Thanks for following up on this everyone! Yes you're right, I did send this request out last year and we did receive quite a few people who submitted letters to Brinker. From the OCF office we sent out about ten to different contacts within the company. However, I never heard from anyone. I suppose it's never too late to reach out to them but since they were not responsive the first go-around I don't expect them to be now.
How weird to get an old post like that?LOL Maybe it's fate and we should try again. If you decide to have another go at it then I'm in.
