Garbanzo supporting cancer survivors group

June 3, 2013

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill has teamed up with Colorado-based nonprofit First Descents to help support the organization's internationally reaching adventure camps for young adult cancer fighters and survivors.

The Mediterranean restaurant concept is helping raise funds and awareness for First Descents through a series of efforts, including placing donation boxes near the registers at all Colorado and Maryland Garbanzo locations, and providing giveaways, samples and volunteers for the nonprofit's events.

"First Descents' work with young adult cancer fighters and survivors is so inspiring, we felt drawn to join their cause and provide assistance in any way possible," said Alon Mor, Garbanzo founder, president and CEO. "Our team initially became involved with First Descents in 2012, so it is exciting to grow our partnership into one that includes our employees and guests. We look forward to a long and beneficial collaboration."

In 2013, First Descents will host more than 40 programs in North America, South America and Indonesia.
