Eating for a cure

Park Slope’s crusader for breast cancer awareness, Lenore Arons, has now cajoled 14 local restaurants into donating a portion of one night’s take to the fight against the dread disease.

As The Stoop has been reporting, Arons has been putting the squeeze on local eateries to participate in her month-long event, “Dining Out for a Cure.”

“I started out doing this not knowing if anyone would participate,” said Arons, who lives on Lincoln Place. “But in a few weeks it blossomed to this huge event.”

Seven other Park Slope restaurants have donated gift certificates that will also devote a portion towards finding a cure for breast cancer.

Participating restaurants in Park Slope will donate 10 to 15 percent of their total receipts during their night of the fundraiser (see chart).

200 Fifth, a well-known Slope eatery, will chip in on June 25.

“It is the right thing to do,” said Mark Gerbush, owner of the restaurant. “Some people are unfortunate, and it’s good to give back.”

Aron’s is optimistic that fundraiser will be a success. “My hope is that there are enough people that love good food and will go out to eat,” said Arons.
