Teaming up to Fight Ovarian Cancer for Mother's DayDining In, Dancing Deer and Ovarian Cancer National Alliance
(CSRwire) WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 25, 2007) -- Dining In™ and Dancing Deer
Baking Company are joining forces with the Ovarian Cancer National
Alliance to raise money and awareness about a disease that few know is the
fifth largest killer of U.S. women. For the next four weeks, people
ordering meals delivered by Dining In from restaurants in four major
metropolitan areas can purchase Mother's Day gifts from Dancing Deer
Baking Co. with a philanthropic twist.   Michael Hackel, founder and CEO of Dining In™, wanted to support a cause that would be relevant to his customers in Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston. "I give back to a variety of charities in Boston," says Hackel, "but I wanted to develop a philanthropic voice for Dining In™ and this is a great opportunity." Dining In™ is the fastest growing food delivery service in the country. Dancing Deer Baking Co. has built its brand around being a philanthropic and environmental player. The national baking company, under the leadership of co-founder and CEO Trish Karter, has given thousands of dollars to ending family homelessness through its non-profit partner, One Family, Inc. and many more thousands of cookies to a variety of causes in the Greater Boston area. Dancing Deer is also partnering with the Pine Street Inn, a shelter and resource for homeless mothers and children, this Mother's Day. The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance is the nation's voice for ovarian cancer issues. Now starting its 10th Anniversary, the Alliance unites local, state and national organizations in a movement to increase public and professional understanding of ovarian cancer and to advocate for more effective diagnostics, treatments and a cure. To order gifts that will support the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, visit www.diningin.com. Dancing Deer Baking Company gifts are sold at www.dancingdeer.com.
