During the month of October, a portion of the proceeds from Margaritaville’s Asiago Crab & Artichoke Dip with pink chips, Treasure Chests Pina Colada, and a Breast Cancer Awareness Pink tee will be donated to Singing for Change. The nonprofit provides grants to organizations that inspire personal growth, community integration, and the enhanced awareness that collectively; people can bring about positive social change.  Locations in Atlantic City, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Myrtle Beach, Nashville, Panama City, Pigeon Forge, San Antonio, and Syracuse will be featuring the promotion.
