Newk's Cares, the charitable arm of the beloved Newk's Eatery, is set to pay tribute to the remarkable legacy of late founder Lori Newcomb on September 24 with the grand commemoration of the 10th Annual Lori's Day. This special occasion serves as a beacon of hope and solidarity as funds and awareness are raised in the relentless battle against ovarian cancer.
The poignant story of Lori Newcomb, the wife of Newk's Co-Founder Chris Newcomb, resonates deeply within the hearts of all who know of her courageous fight against stage IIIC ovarian cancer in 2013. In response to her own battle, Lori fearlessly founded Newk's Cares in 2014, an initiative that has since blossomed into a mighty force driving ovarian cancer research and community outreach efforts.
Over the past decade, Newk's Cares has orchestrated a symphony of generosity, raising an impressive $2.5 million towards essential research and community education endeavors. The impact of this altruistic endeavor is immeasurable, shining a light of hope in the darkness of uncertainty for countless individuals and families grappling with this insidious disease.
As Lori's Day approaches, the Newk's community stands together, united in purpose and determination. On this special day, 20% of sales from all Newk's locations will be pledged to Newk's Cares, channeling support towards vital ovarian cancer awareness and research initiatives. The restaurants themselves will be transformed into vibrant canvases of teal, the color symbolizing solidarity with ovarian cancer warriors everywhere.
In a delightful touch of whimsy and charm, guests will have the opportunity to contribute through various means, be it the cheery donation cups beckoning cheerful coins or the themed water bottle purchases that serve as both a practical item and a token of support.
As the countdown begins to Lori's Day, let us all join hands in celebrating the indomitable spirit of Lori Newcomb, a beacon of inspiration and hope. Let us stand together against ovarian cancer, as a community united by compassion, driven by purpose, and infused with a sprinkle of quirky charm that only Newk's can bring.
