NEW ORLEANS – Parkway Bakery & Tavern is once again uniting with the Al Copeland Foundation, with support from Crystal Hot Sauce, to raise funds to fight cancer. Every Wednesday in November, Parkway will serve its Thanksgiving poboy as part of the annual #IDidItForTheTurkey fundraiser.
“Supporting one another is a hallmark of New Orleans, and we extend a warm invitation to all to enjoy this special time of the year,” said Justin Kennedy, Parkway general manager and head chef, in a press release. “The #IDidItForTheTurkey campaign champions a truly vital cause and is now bigger and better thanks to support from our friends at Crystal Hot Sauce.”
A $100 ticket will allow customers to skip the line between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. every Wednesday.
The “Skip the Line” ticket includes the Thanksgiving poboy, a commemorative T-shirt, sweet potato fries, fresh-made lemonade and a pumpkin spice ice cream sandwich.
Tickets can be purchased at AlCopelandFoundation.org or in person every Wednesday at Parkway Bakery & Tavern, where the Al Copeland Foundation tent is set up. A portion of the sales from buying the Thanksgiving Poor Boy without skipping the line also goes to the Al Copeland Foundation.
Since 2008, the Al Copeland Foundation has raised more than $2.3 million to support innovative cancer treatments.
