Sofia Vergara Is Hungry For Hope!

By GalaTView Staff

Emmy-award winning actress and philanthropist, Sofia Vergara will join forces with an authentic, family-style Italian restaurant serving authentic Italian cuisine to over 97 US locations, for theMeatballs 4 Ninos,” a campaign that aims to raise money and awareness for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® and its mission of finding cures and saving children fighting cancer and other deadly diseases. The “Meatballs 4 Ninos” restaurant-specific charitable program will launch nationwide beginning January 22, 2014.

Sharing a common mission, Vergara and Buca are dedicated to making an impact, boosting awareness and raising funds to support the St. Jude Give Thanks. Give Hope. Campaign. Drawing upon its commitment to the family experience, the restaurant will donate $1 to St. Jude for every meatball appetizer, entree, and side dish served in it.

As a spokesperson for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Sofia is passionate about children’s health and the family’s well-being. TheMeatballs 4 Ninos” dishes will raise awareness and funds for this important cause, while bringing to the forefront a classic, beloved dish that encourages sharing and creating new memories.

“We’re honored that Sofia is partnering with Buca to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” said Robert Earl. “St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital does everything possible to save the lives of children fighting cancer, and they freely share their research breakthroughs with other doctors around the world, which helps save kids in communities everywhere. While our customers are enjoying some of our world-famous meatballs, they will also be giving hope to the patients at St. Jude and children with cancer in communities across America.”

“It means so much to me that one of my favorite restaurants is supporting a cause so dear to me,” said Sofia Vergara. “And thanks to programs like ‘Meatballs 4 Ninos,’ families never receive a bill from St. Jude for anything – not for treatment, travel housing or food so all families have to worry about is helping their child live. I hope everyone will visit this restaurant to experience their legendary meatballs and support St. Jude.”

Made from the highest-quality ingredients and slow-cooked in fresh marinara sauce, this italian restaurant is best known for their half-pound, mouth-watering meatballs, which are made fresh daily. The restaurant’s commitment to the cause will also be extended to customers who order trough online menu.
