MOVEMBERS ONLY: CAFÉ MEDINA RELEASES LIMITED ‘FRONT OF THE LINE’ SPOTS TO RAISE FUNDS, AWARENESS FOR MOVEMBER MOVEMENT

 Brunch Hotspot Serves Up Three Time Slots Per Day By Donation Throughout November With All Proceeds To Benefit “Movember” Global Men’s Health Movement

 

While Café Medina normally operates under a strict no-reservations policy, the beloved downtown brunch institution will allow locals and visitors alike a golden opportunity to skip the line and book tables for two to six people by donation throughout November with 100 per cent of proceeds to benefit the Movember Foundation.

From Nov. 1 to Nov. 30, Café Medina will offer up three peak time slots each day — 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. — to patrons who pledge a $25 per-table donation to the Movember Foundation, a global charity that raises awareness of men’s health issues with the aim of helping men lead happier, healthier and longer lives.

“We’re thrilled to continue to provide sustenance to both our loyal guests and the community at large by allowing groups to move to the front of the line at Café Medina during peak times while also raising awareness and funds for a worthy cause,” says Café Medina proprietor Robbie Kane, whose family has been affected by prostate cancer.

While Café Medina is as well known for its lineups as its eclectic, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and Belgian waffles, the popular brunch destination always encourages its guests to take advantage of low-traffic times both in the early morning and after 2 p.m. on weekdays to find a coveted spot at the bar or in the dining room.

Kane and the Café Medina staff have already demonstrated their commitment to the community by supporting a number of charity initiatives including Mission Possible and Mealshare, which partners with restaurants across Canada to provide meals to local youth in need.
