Forking Amazing Restaurants- a locally owned restaurant group in Jacksonville- is launching an initiative to support nonprofit organizations called “Collaborate and Give”.

Collaborate and Give will last three consecutive days every month, starting with the final Monday of the month. During Collaborate and Give, Forking Amazing Restaurants will donate 5 percent of food sales at Ovinté, Bistro Aix and IL DESCO to a designated nonprofit partner.

Proceeds for the first Collaborate and Give will go to the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund, which assists families dealing with childhood cancer. “As a Jacksonville-based restaurant group, we take great pride in supporting nonprofit organizations that make our community a better place to live,” said Matt Mannick, President of Forking Amazing Restaurants. “Tom Coughlin’s leadership yields amazing results — both on the field and in the community. Since 1996, the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund has provided much-needed support for local families tackling childhood cancer. We look forward to raising awareness and funds for this worthy organization through Collaborate and Give.”

It says a lot about the character of an organization when they choose to get involved in the community. The dollars raised will make an impact in helping local families tackle childhood cancer.”
