Founders David Clapp and Dave Nicholas of Alexandria Restaurant Partners (ARP) have entered into a partnership with ACT for Alexandria, a community foundation that serves to increase charitable investment in Alexandria. Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 8, The Majestic Cafe, located at 911 King Street, will begin raising money to support The Majestic Grant Fund which will be hosted by ACT. Restaurant-goers can participate in two ways:
Those who dine at The Majestic Cafe will receive a flyer in their check presenter billfold with details about ACT for Alexandria. On this flyer, customers will have the opportunity to list their name and favorite Alexandria-based charity. At the end of the month, those who filled out the flyer will be entered into a drawing to win $100 gift certificate for a return visit to The Majestic Cafe, and the Alexandria charity of their choice which will receive a $500 charitable donation on their behalf if selected. In total, there are 12 drawings a year.
The Majestic Cafe will also offer a complimentary appetizer to anyone who speaks the code word “ACT” to their server upon arrival. This entitles them to a 5 percent savings off their total check, and an additional 5 percent donation will be automatically be made to support The Majestic Cafe Grant Fund. The 5 percent donation will accumulate throughout the year and an annual grant check presentation will be made by The Majestic Cafe through ACT to a local nonprofit in January. This special offering is available Sunday through Thursday during both lunch and dinner service.
