AVP and Tin Roof Bistro “Serve Up A Cure” This Saturday

By Michael Jenkins on November 11th, 2009

Waiters and bartenders serve us all the time. But how often do they bump, set, and spike? On Saturday, November 14, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, Tin Roof Bistro will team up with athletes from Manhattan Beach-based Association of Volleyball Professionals to raise money for Padres Contra El Cancer, a non-profit foundation that supports children living with cancer.

Volleyball players who are used to serving on sandy courts will, instead, serve the public as waiters, bartenders and hosts at the luncheon. All tips collected will be donated to Padres Contra El Cancer to supplement the funds being raised that day by Tin Roof Bistro.

In addition to mingling with the players, guests will have an opportunity to get pro level tips and advice at a temporary volleyball clinic set up near the restaurant. Here’s a chance to support a cause and take your beach game to the next level at the same time!

“We’re delighted to be teaming with the AVP in supporting a nonprofit that is close to all of our hearts,” said Mike Simms, owner of the newly opened Tin Roof Bistro at the Manhattan Village Shopping Center. “For our first fundraiser, I thought it would be nice to invite the players to learn a new way of serving and it’s all for a good cause.”

“The players are stoked about joining Mike and the team at Tin Roof Bistro in this great event for Padres Contra El Cancer,” said Jay Reynolds, manager of AVP Cares, the fundraising arm of the athletic organization. “The afternoon should be a lot of fun and we’re hoping that the public will join us in supporting this special event.”

Space for this event is limited. For reservations or more information, please call 310-939-0900.
