The Executive Chef at Pei Wei recently traveled to Ethiopia and was moved to action by what he saw…..ORPHANS! He is spearheading a trial fundraiser with Pei Wei starting today for the next two weeks (until May 16th) in every Pei Wei store in Texas and Arizona (about 70+ stores).

Go buy a double chocolate chunk oatmeal cookie and the proceeds will go towards orphans worldwide in support of Gladney Center for Adoption!

Also, visit adoption/newborn photographer Kristin Laughlin‘s site. She did the photography they used in this promotion!

Spread the word by email, on Facebook, Twitter, your blogs etc. If this is a success, they will do it again and Eric Justice the chef for Pei Wei will take the idea to other chef’s around the country! Call ahead to pre-order a dozen or more for any special occasion you have in the next week! Kids events, parties, work, bible study, teacher appreciation etc. Go here to find a location near you.

And make sure to tell those at the Pei Wei store how MUCH you appreciate them supporting orphans!!
