POLLO TROPICAL® HELPS “SET THE STAGE” FOR BAYSHORE CULTURAL AND PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Media Contacts: Kampi Chaleunsouk Alcione Gonzalez 305-751-7001 x8004 305-751-7001 x8003 kampi@impactmiami.com alcione@impactmiami.com NAPLES – The Board of Directors of the Bayshore Cultural and Performing Arts Center (CAPA) has joined forces with Pollo Tropical® to help raise funds for the construction of a new performing arts center in the Naples area. On Sunday, December 6, CAPA, will host a Benefit Night at the Pollo Tropical located at 3777 East Tamiami Trail from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Twenty percent of sales generated from CAPA’s guests will be donated to the organization's mission to create a Naples performing arts venue. CAPA’s mission is to create a state-of-the-art cultural and performing arts center that will showcase local visual and performing talent. It will also provide cultural, performance and educational opportunities for the community. The CAPA Board includes members from Naples Concert Band, Naples Opera Society, The Bach Ensemble, Naples Orchestra and Chorus, Naples Music Club, Classic Chamber Series and more. Pollo Tropical started hosting regular Benefit Nights in August of 2008, to help nonprofit organizations such as the YMCA, Girl Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, local schools and Parent Teacher Associations raise money for special projects. For more information or to nominate your charity for a Pollo Tropical® Benefit Night, visit www.pollotropical.com. HOW IT WORKS The first step is to visit www.pollotropical.com and complete and submit a Benefit Night request form found under the Community tab. Once a Benefit Night is approved, Pollo Tropical will identify a restaurant location that is conveniently located for the organization to host the Benefit Night. The organization is then responsible for distributing Pollo Tropical guest vouchers for the event to the supporters—voucher layouts are provided by Pollo Tropical. After the Benefit Night is completed, Pollo Tropical donates to the organization 20 percent of that store’s sales generated by the guests of the Benefit Night. About Pollo Tropical® Born in a Caribbean kitchen with a Latin accent in the melting pot of Miami, Pollo Tropical's signature citrus marinated, tropical-spiced grilled chicken (Pollo in Spanish) created its namesake. People came from all over just to get a taste of the Pollo. Today, that same recipe is being grilled fresh and served fast to about 20 million loyal Pollo Tropical fans at more than 100 Pollo Tropical restaurants. There’s no mistaking the taste, the freshness and the flavor of Pollo Tropical. For more information on Pollo Tropical®, including menu items and nutritional information, visit online at www.pollotropical.com. ###

Tucson shines all year long, but it shines the brightest at JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa every holiday season. With so many festive offerings during December, Starr Pass is adding another event to its holiday lineup this year – the Winter Wonder Ball, on Saturday, December 5, from 6 to 11 p.m. The Winter Wonder Ball will have a dual impact on the Tucson community – it will offer local businesses a place to celebrate, without the expense of private holiday parties and give the Community Food Bank of Tucson a much-needed boost during the holidays. In addition to Santa, snow, and songs, the Winter Wonder Ball will give local businesses and organizations a chance to celebrate the holidays in grand style and reward their employees for their dedication and hard work in a resort-style environment. Tables for 10 will be offered at an affordable price, and will include all of the necessities for a truly enchanted evening. Perhaps the most beautiful part of the Winter Wonder Ball is how it gives back to the community. Each Winter Wonder Ball guest is asked to bring non-perishable food items to the gala. At the end of the evening, the food will be donated to the Community Food Bank of Tucson. As guests place their items in the donation bin at the door, they will receive a drink ticket. The more food items the guest brings, the more drink tickets they can earn. With so many needy families in Tucson, there is no better way to help the needy than providing them with a delicious meal to enjoy over the holidays.
