The Westin Phoenix Downtown
Month-long literacy awareness campaign in downtown Phoenix honors the children
PHOENIX – (April 10, 2013) – Province, the Latin-inspired American restaurant at The Westin Phoenix Downtown, partners with the Children’s Museum of Phoenix to launch a bilingual literacy celebration on April 30, 2013, in honor of Día de los Niños/Día de los Libros (Day of the Children/Day of the Books).
Día de los Niños/Día de los Libros is a celebration that originated in 1997 and embraces childhood literacy. The partnership between the restaurant and Museum will celebrate children and connect them to the world of learning through books and stories.
Instead of having a one-day event on Día de los Niños/Día de los Libros (April 30), the celebration will last for an entire month. From April 30 through May 30, 2013, kids under 12 years old will eat free from the selections available on the kids’ menu at Province when they bring new or gently used children’s books to the restaurant as a donation to the Children’s Museum of Phoenix. Kids and families are encouraged to bring books that are written in Spanish and/or English.
To receive the complimentary meal in Province, kids must be accompanied by an adult and only qualifies with the purchase of an adult entrée. This offer is available during all mealtimes throughout the month-long campaign.
Additionally, those participating in this effort will receive a coupon for two-for-one admission into the Children’s Museum of Phoenix. These two-for-one admission coupons will be given to qualifying patrons at Province in exchange for the new or gently used books.
Province will collect and display all donated books in the restaurant’s main dining area for all to see! The books will be delivered to and then used throughout the Museum including the Museum’s Book Loft. They will also be distributed to families in need through the Museum’s Every Child Program, which provides free or reduced Museum admission to families battling financial, emotional or circumstantial challenges.
Parking validation is available for Province restaurant patrons. Reservations are recommended by calling Province at (602) 429-3600 or visiting phoenix.provincerestaurant.com.
