August 26
Eat at Chipotle August 26 & Support Denver Zoo! – Chipotle Mexican Grill is hosting a fundraiser at all Denver-area and Northern Colorado Chipotle locations, Sunday August 26, 2007. Chipotle will donate 100% percent of sales generated on August 26 at these locations, up to $10,000 to Denver Zoo. Visit www.chipotle.com to find the Chipotle nearest you. Chipotle’s commitment to keeping animals happy extends far beyond the zoo with its vision of Food With Integrity. Earlier this year, Chipotle started serving only naturally-raised meats in all of its Colorado restaurants. Naturally-raised meat comes from animals raised on a pure vegetarian diet, never given antibiotics or added hormones and always treated humanely. Chipotle’s support of Denver Zoo is part of its ongoing commitment to the communities it serves!
