Now through October 31st, Eleven81 in the Market at Oakland in Mount Pleasant has partnered with SOS Lowcountry to raise money through the restaurant's Kitchen Karma program.
SOS Lowcountry is a local nonprofit organization that aims to aid breast cancer patients in the Lowcountry so they can focus solely on recovery and not the financial stress brought on during this very difficult battle.
The volunteer-led organization honors the spirit of Suzy McGrane, a local photographer who organized fundraising events in Columbia for fellow patients she met after she herself was diagnosed. The foundation picks up where Suzy left off and aids those with bridging the financial gap from diagnosis to remission.
Funds raised are used to provide assistance to those with every day needs such as wigs, prosthetics, childcare, gas cards, utility bill assistance, medication assistance and more. Proceeds from this partnership will benefit their work in helping breast cancer patients cover the critical areas that insurance companies do not.
The Kitchen Karma program began at the Eleven81's owners' first restaurant concept, SOL Southwest Kitchen & Tequila Bar. The restaurants partner with a local charity organization to donate $1 from every featured Kitchen Karma item sold throughout the program's duration.
The featured items benefiting SOS Lowcountry on Eleven81's menu are the BBQ Chicken Nachos (with pink tortilla chips) and the Think Pink Drink, featuring Tito’s Vodka, muddled strawberries and mint, fresh lime juice and ginger beer. $1 of each purchased through October 31st, 2021 will be donated to SOS Lowcountry.
