P.F. Chang’s is celebrating Chinese New Year in February by donating proceeds from its special menu to Boys & Girls Clubs. A dollar from the purchase of an item on the limited-time Chinese New Year menu will benefit the Club. Additionally, patrons who post on social media with the hashtag #PFChangsWish will trigger a $1 donation to the Club. “Making wishes and giving to children are two Chinese New Year traditions, and P.F. Chang’s will observe those customs by granting wishes and donating up to $100,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs. Guests can participate in the monthlong celebration and benefit the nonprofit in restaurants and through social media,” a statement from P.F. Chang’s says. P.F. Chang’s will also randomly select and grant customer wishes throughout the month. “Raising money for the Boys & Girls Clubs, which enables kids throughout the nation to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens, is our way of honoring Chinese New Year traditions in a meaningful way,” said P.F. Chang’s Chief Marketing Officer Dwayne Chambers. Boys & Girls Clubs CEO P.T. McEwen said the Club is “grateful for partners like P.F. Chang’s – their support allows us to do what we do in the community.” The P.F. Chang’s location supporting Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Redlands-Riverside is at 3475 Tyler St., Riverside.
