Fruitland, Md. – Uno Chicago Grill in Fruitland is all about families, great food, fun and giving back to the community!

It’s the twinkle in the eye, the smile on the face and the hug a caring volunteer gives to an athlete that is conjured up when thinking of the Special Olympics.

Help Uno Chicago Grill in supporting the Lower Shore Special Olympics on Sept. 20 with a donation and you too will walk away with a smile on your face.

"We are excited to be hosting the second annual Deep Dish Tuesday for the Lower Shore Special Olympics," says Joe Rosales general manager of UNO Chicago Grill. "Last year we raised more than $1,000 and made 545 pizzas in one day! We invite the community to come out and enjoy their favorite pizza and support this worthwhile organization."

Uno Chicago Grill is offering a choice of four kinds of personal pizzas: Cheese, Pepperoni, Numero Uno and Classic, each for a $2 donation.

The event will be held all day from 11am-11pm.  Uno’s employees will don special shirts that were made by a representative of the Special Olympics.  Uno will also have volunteers with great smiles and warm personalities greeting guests at the front door and thanking them for coming. Businesses who want to participate as a group are asked to place orders ahead the day before the event.
