The holiday season is a special time of year at Parkhurst Dining. Starting with our five-week Caring for Kids campaign that runs from November to December, we engage in a variety of fundraising activities to benefit area children’s hospitals. This year, our sites held a variety of fundraisers, including a Pie in the Eye event at Heidelberg University, raffle baskets at Duquesne University, and a Family Meal dinner at Robert Morris University. It’s amazing to see our team members come together to raise money for children’s hospitals across our footprint.
To all our guests and partners, we hope you have a happy holiday season and that we can continue to build something special with you in the new year!
