Dining At The Signature Room In May Supports The H Foundation's Fight To Cure Cancer

CHICAGO - May 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Each month, The Signature Room at the 95th® features one charity to receive 10 percent of sales generated from designated dinner items. Throughout the month of May, The H Foundation is the non-profit benefiting as the chosen Charity of the Month. Since the programs inception in 1993 by owners of The Signature Room®, Rick Roman and Nick Pyknis, more than 200 Chicago non-profit organizations have benefited with more than $1 million having been donated.

The H Foundation’s commitment to a cure for cancer came about when a few entrepreneurial spirited friends decided they could make a difference in the fight against cancer.  Now, twelve years later over 4.5 million dollars has been raised!  Nearly every dollar raised has been donated to the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University as seed money for basic science cancer research projects which have gone on to win additional government and private funding.  As a result, donations by The H Foundation have turned into $35 million of research dollars toward finding a cure.  A prime example is last fall, the Feinberg School at Northwestern was awarded a $21 million grant to study fertility threats posed to women by cancer treatment.  The H Foundation honors the belief that, “Together we can make a difference.”

Designated dinner menu items throughout May will feature delicious options for every course. Starters range from the pan seared squab, mixed with king oyster mushrooms served atop red lentils and topped with a rich cognac-wild game reduction; chilled spring pea soup flavored with mint; strawberry and frisée salad with fresh parmesan, basil and balsamic pearls. This month’s featured entrée, pan seared corvina is served with parsnip purée, charred spring onions, crawfish bisque and a black garlic mousse.

Mission statements of all Charity of the Month non-profits are posted on the restaurant’s website along with full details regarding the application and review process. All beneficiaries are chosen during an annual application review.
