Ruthie's Rolling Cafe Announces "Ruthie's Dozen"

Our dear friends at Ruthie's Rolling Cafe have created a unique way to give back to the community. Through their new impressive award program “Ruthie's Dozen,” the company will showcase a select local nonprofit each month.  Ruthie's goal is to create awareness, increase fundraising, and highlight the philanthropic mission, all while providing delicious food from their food truck, Ruthie's Rolling Cafe.

The idea for Ruthie's Dozen was inspired by owner Ashlee Hunt Kleinert's family, especially her grandmother, Ruth Ray Hunt. "Through Ruthie’s Dozen, we hope to keep my grandmother’s legacy alive by helping others and creating awareness for important causes. Ruthie's Dozen is a very special award spotlighting a mix of some well known and some smaller, lesser known nonprofit organizations - but all need need visibility and all need our support," said Kleinert.

Ruthie's Dozen Features/Benefits:

* Every morning, for one month, Ruthie's will promote the selected nonprofit via social media – who they serve, statistics or nuggets of information surrounding their cause, their greatest needs, etc.

* Ruthie's will provide each nonprofit a weekly social media post to put on their respective websites regarding the Ruthie’s Dozen award. This will create awareness about the Ruthie's Dozen honor and tell fans how they can support the initiative.

* Each nonprofit will want to shout this information from the rooftop and ask their supporters to dine at Ruthie's during their special month. WHY? Because Ruthie's will donate 20% of its net profits to the selected charity that month.(10% from Ruthie's LLC and 10% matching gift from its founders = 20% going to nonprofit) - During that month, Ruthie's will roll to the winning nonprofit's facility during lunch in order to celebrate the nonprofit and the incredible work they do by providing lunch for staff members. Think of it as Ruthie's way to say, "Here's to you!"

LeukemiaTexas appoints new CEO, Mandy Hamilton-O'Neill

LeukemiaTexas, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting the life-threatening blood cancer of leukemia through research and patient aid, recently appointed Mandy Hamilton-O’Neill as Chief Executive Officer.

Before joining LeukemiaTexas, Mandy worked nearly 15 years in the nonprofit sector, leading small and large non-profits, such as the American Heart Association and MADD, focusing on education, health, equality, and victim’s rights. She has been responsible for executing stimulating programs and substantial revenue generation to exceed organizational goals across the country which has resulted in close to $20 million dollars for these organizations.

“I am honored to lead an organization whose mission is so critical, financially supports patients in our great state, and has a dedicated team who works daily to eradicate this disease,” Mandy said. “For close to half a century, LeukemiaTexas has been the leader in improving the lives of those with leukemia and supporting research in Texas and we will continue to champion our cause.”

Mandy currently serves her community as a member of the Women’s Auxiliary of Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, a member of the Auxiliary of the Genesis Women’s Shelter, volunteer for the Kilgore College Rangerette Alumni organization, an official ambassador for the American Stroke Association, a certified Victim Advocate for MADD, and a Big Sister in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. In 2008, Mandy was selected as one of Dallas’ 10 most beautiful women by D Magazine, who also quoted her as “a non-profit’s dream,” noting her appreciation and love to give back.
