Boys & Girls Clubs of Coachella Valley (BGCofCV) enjoyed a pasta dinner from Olive Garden on Monday night. The event was part of a national partnership between Olive Garden and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) and was part of the kickoff for the Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion.

The Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion encourages all customers to round their checks up to the nearest dollar and make a donation to support Boys & Girls Clubs. The promotion lasts seven weeks and will continue through November 9.

“Hundreds of valley residents visit Olive Garden every day and will have a quick and easy to donate to Boys & Girls Clubs,” Quinton Egson, Chief Professional Officer of the BGCofCV said. “We’re honored that they selected BGCA as a recipient and that they put on a pasta party for our club.”

Over 200 kids at the clubhouse enjoyed pasta, breadsticks and salad on Monday night. “The food was so good. It was really nice of Olive Garden to make it for us.” said Noel Magallanes, a La Quinta Clubhouse member.

Olive Garden is dedicated to the ongoing commitment to serve its local communities and supports BGCA’s mission to empower all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
