Dine Out to Benefit Aidan's Army May 9

Downtown Wheaton restaurants on May 9 will donate 10 percent of sales to Aidan's Army, a local foundation that supports research and treatment of pediatric cancers.

The charity was formed in remembrance of their son, Aidan Manning, who lost his battle to Medulloblastoma, a type of  malignant brain tumor, in 2009.

Boost4, the fundraising arm of Boost Marketing, has organized the event, as part of their mission to raise $20,000 for the research and treatment of childhood cancers.

The following downtown Wheaton restaurants have offered to donate 10% of their sales (excluding alcohol) to Aidan’s Army: The Bank, Muldoon’s, Shane’s Deli, Egg’lectic Café, Adelle’s, Pad Thai, Ivy, and Sushi Mono.

Boost4 will also be participating in the 24 Hours of LeMons in Joliet June 7 and 8 to draw attention to and raise money for the cause.  

The 24 Hours of Lemons is a 24-hour endurance race for cars that cost no more than $500. All of the funds donated to this event through sponsorships and contributions will go to Aidan’s Army.
