DOGS FOR THE CAUSE

We are committed to actively supporting the welfare & interests of the communities we serve. Beyond our ongoing philanthropic efforts, we are pleased to partner with local non-profit organizations through our Dogs for the Cause Program, providing additional fundraising opportunities to support your cause.

WHAT IS THE DOGS FOR THE CAUSE PROGRAM?

The Dogs for the Cause Program invites your organization’s supporters to dine at Southtown Hotdogs for lunch, dinner, or both, and earn up to 15% of all pre-tax sales generated by your group. When supporters dine in or order carryout and present your organization’s Dogs for the Cause fundraiser flyer on the scheduled date, 15% of their check (excluding tax) will be donated to your organization. Please note that gift card purchases are not included in this program. A check for the total donation will be issued one week after your event.

WHO QUALIFIES?

This program is open to any government-recognized non-profit with tax-exempt status and a valid Tax ID number, including: schools, churches, libraries, sports teams, other community groups.

HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?

Your organization is responsible for publicizing the event ahead of time by distributing flyers in person and via email. Supporters must bring their flyers and present them to the server during their visit, or mention the event over the phone for carryout orders. To ensure your group receives credit, every participating guest must present a valid fundraiser flyer at each table or with each carryout order.

PLEASE NOTE

Flyers may not be distributed inside or within 50 feet of the restaurant before or during the event. We operate on the honor system and ask that all organization members follow this guideline.

  • Announce your Dogs for the Cause event on your website and provide a link to download the flyer PDF.
  • Attach the flyer to emails sent to family, friends, office colleagues, and more.
  • Contact your local newspaper, which often seeks information about charitable community events.
  • Distribute flyers at large gatherings, group meetings, and area sporting events.
  • Announce the fundraiser on the P.A. system at local events.
  • Share the flyer and event details across all of your social media pages.


Remember, the broader your outreach, the more successful your event will be. The more people who attend your Dogs for the Cause event, the more funds your organization will earn. And for those unable to stay for a meal, carryout orders also count toward your fundraising total!
