Where to Eat
Z’Tejas recently donated $21,238 to local nonprofit, Scottsdale Active 20-30 Club, which supports children’s charities. The organization provides young adults with an opportunity for personal growth, friendships and leadership development while improving the quality of lives of children in the community.
The monies donated to Scottsdale Active 20-30 Club were raised from Jan. 1 through March 31 at all Phoenix area Z’Tejas locations, including the Chandler Fashion Center location.
Cornbread for A Cause is the restaurant group’s corporate giving arm. Its mission is to raise funds for charitable organizations that help people in the communities that Z’Tejas serves. Funds are raised through proceeds from sales of Z’Tejas’ famous, freshly made cornbread.
Through June 30, Z’Tejas Cornbread for A Cause is raising funds for Valley military-focused charity, Military Assistance Mission. Proceeds from Z’Tejas’ five Phoenix-area locations will be donated to Military Assistance Mission.
“We are overwhelmed by the
success of Cornbread for A Cause since launching the first campaign last December and we are extremely grateful to all our guests, team members and charity partners in embracing our corporate giving program,” said Gary Manley, general partner at Z’Tejas Restaurants.
“We are excited to partner with a charitable organization that is making a huge difference in the lives of our active duty service men and women, veterans and their families, for Cornbread for A Cause in the second quarter.”
The Military Assistance Mission serves Arizona’s active duty military, their families and wounded warriors by providing them with financial, morale and emergency assistance regardless of their deployment status.
In 1989, the first Z’Tejas opened in an old Victorian house on historic Sixth Street in downtown Austin, Texas. Since then, Z’Tejas has grown to become the premier dining destination for Mexicanand Southwestern-style cuisine in Phoenix. For more information, visit www.ztejas.com.
