BLUE PLATE SPECIAL

Help make a difference in a child's life by dining at one of over 30 Houston area restaurants during the month of April, Child Abuse Prevention Month. The Blue Plate Special is a city-wide campaign designed to promote public awareness of the many children that suffer from abuse. Participating restaurants have each designated a "blue plate special" that will be offered during the entire month of April.  A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to The Thread Alliance.

The Thread Alliance was founded by Sheila Aron, author of the book I'm Glad I'm Me. The Thread Alliance is dedicated to preventing child abuse through education and community awareness.  Their mission is to ensure that all children have a childhood free of abuse. The Blue Plate Special Kickoff party took place on March 31st at the Tasting Room in Uptown Park.  Friends and supporters gathered as Sheila Aron spoke passionately about the upcoming campaign.
