CARRABBA’S ITALIAN GRILL TO RAISE FUNDS FOR TRIPLE NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION WITH TRIOS FOR A CURE.

Feb. 16th, 2024

Donation and Match for Every Trio Purchased on March 3rd.

Carrabba’s Italian Grill is helping put the spotlight on triple negative breast cancer with a fundraising campaign to benefit the Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) Foundation. On Sunday, March 3 – Triple Negative Breast Cancer Day – Carrabba’s Italian Grill restaurants nationwide will donate $3 for any ordered Trio – three signature recipes on one plate. Carrabba’s Italian Grill will also match $3 per Trio ordered – making it a $6 donation per order – which will help fund critical TNBC research.

The Trios for a Cure dishes include:

• Classic Combinations appetizer: Hand-breaded Calamari, Mozzarella Marinara and Four-Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms, served with marinara sauce
• Chicken Trio: Chicken Bryan, Pollo Rosa and Chicken Marsala
• The Johnny Trio (7oz or 10oz): Chicken Bryan, Tuscan Grilled Sirloin Marsala and Mezzaluna
• Carrabba’s Italian Classic Trio: Classic Chicken Parmesan, Lasagne and Fettuccine Alfredo

“Carrabba’s Italian Grill has a longstanding tradition of supporting the community through our Carrabba’s Cares program. We are honored and humbled to bring greater awareness to the devastating disease of breast cancer that is affecting our local communities and impacting our team.” said Pat Hafner, President of Carrabba’s Italian Grill. “With Trios for a Cure, we will help raise much needed funds for the TNBC Foundation for triple negative research.”

Carrabba’s Italian Grill has a personal connection to the triple negative disease, which has affected two members of its marketing department: Marketing Manager Amanda Hopper, who was diagnosed with TNBC in 2023, and Head of Marketing Bronze Major, who lost a relative to the disease.

Triple negative breast cancer is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer in which all three receptor tests come back negative. It differs from other types of invasive breast cancer in that it tends to grow and spread faster, has fewer treatment options, and tends to have a worse prognosis. The Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation is a credible source for triple negative breast cancer information, a catalyst for science and patient advocacy and a caring community with meaningful services for patients and their families. One hundred percent of the donations received from Trios for a Cure will help fund triple negative breast cancer research.
