The list of restaurants that wil give diners the opportunity to add $1 to their checks through the 24th, with the money going to Heartland Alliance, has grown considerably. the full updated list can be viewed here.

In addition to the fundraising events Michael Kornick is hosting at DMK Burger Bar for the American Red Cross and Share Our Strength, mk is also hosting a cocktail party from 5:30-7:30 p.m. tonight. They'll be matching all donations from the $50 per person event, which will go to Oxfam International.
