Showing support has never tasted so delicious
Check out what’s cooking in the kitchen as the charity dining promotion returns September 5-25 for its 8th year of continued success!
For every Sizzle meal purchased during the three-week event, each participating restaurant will donate $1.00 directly to Blessings in a Backpack of Southwest Florida, a local 501(c)(3) charity that feeds over 8,000 food-insecure elementary students in Lee and Collier Counties every weekend during the school year. Last year, an impressive 48,884 Sizzle Dining meals were sold! What started as a week-long event, Sizzle has grown into a 21-day phenomenon that draws thousands of visitors to our restaurants. The wide range of price points makes participating restaurants affordable for locals and profitable during a sleepy September.
From fine dining to casual neighborhood restaurants, diners can sample some of the best Southwest Florida’s culinary scene has to offer.
Sizzle Dining is more than just a culinary celebration
Economic Boost: Sizzle Dining injects over $3 million into the Southwest Florida economy annually, promoting local businesses and encourages residents to explore and support their community restaurants.
Customer Loyalty: By encouraging residents to try new restaurants, Sizzle Dining fosters long-term customer loyalty and keeps diners coming back for more.
Revenue Growth: Increased diner traffic benefits businesses that sell to the hospitality industry, leading to revenue growth across the board.
Community Pride: Sizzle Dining fosters a sense of community pride and identity as we come together to celebrate and support local restaurants during the traditionally slow month of September.
Job Growth: The event stimulates job growth within the hospitality industry, creating employment opportunities that positively impacts our local community.
Tourism Impact: Sizzle Dining attracts tourists and visitors, generating additional revenue for local businesses and showcases our region's culinary excellence.
And Most Importantly: The Sizzle Dining event serves as a platform for charitable initiatives. Just in the past three years, Sizzle Dining has helped 800+ Lee and Collier children have over 60,000 hunger-free weekends.
Remember, great food is a highlight of a great getaway, so don’t skip the chance to savor local tastes and Southwest Florida’s collection of delicious cuisines from around the world.
