Eastchester teens and kids”™ club members at the Loukoumi Make a Difference Foundation Ava Tsapatsaris and Cora Patterson teamed up to host a special fundraiser at Kumo Sushi Lounge in Scarsdale, New York, to raise awareness and funds for the Loukoumi treatment room at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in New York City and Tennessee. The teens worked out a special deal for Kumo customers who mention Loukoumi Foundation when paying their check or ordering takeout now through Jan.1.
Patterson learned about the Loukoumi Foundation through Tsapatsaris who is a long-time supporter and has raised more than $50,000 for cancer research and causes. Together they’re offering 5% discounts on checks when the foundation is mentioned and 5% of the check total will be donated to the nonprofit’s fundraising campaign. In addition, a special Loukoumi sushi roll was created to promote the partnership. One-hundred percent of the proceeds from this roll will be donated to the campaign. Kumo is open seven days a week and offers free delivery on takeout orders within a 5-mile radius.
The Loukoumi Make A Difference Foundation, inspired by the nine-book Loukoumi children”™s book series by Nick Katsoris, is a nonprofit organization teaching children to make a difference in their lives and the lives of others. Starting in 2008 with the release of the book “Loukoumi”™s Good Deeds” narrated by Jennifer Aniston, the Loukoumi movement now unites more than 100,000 children annually to do good deeds for causes that mean something to them.
