Flatbread & Football at Wickets to Honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Proceeds Benefitting Local Wellness Place

Dana Hartung, Neighbor

Wickets kicks off Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October with two of its specialties- good food and Chicago sports. During the month, the restaurant will offer a ‘pink’ flatbread hand formed by Chef George Garcia topped with roasted tomatoes, ricotta cheese and basil. A portion of the proceeds from these brick oven creations will benefit Palatine-based breast cancer education organization, Wellness Place.

In addition, while the NFL is honoring the month with pink team uniforms, Wickets will be offering a ‘pink’ raffle during each Chicago Bears game on October 6, 10 and 20. Guests dining at the restaurant those three days will receive a raffle ticket for every drink purchased for a chance to win various pink Chicago Bears apparel, footballs and more. The winners will be chosen at random after the October 20 game and announced on Facebook.
