June 10, 2008 - PRLog -- (GUELPH, Ontario, Canada) – Restaurantica, a leading restaurant review website, announces that after receiving more than 500 comments from its community outraged over the firing of Stacey Fearnall, that it would donate money to the charity she lost her job for.

Stacey Fearnall lost her job at a local Owen Sound restaurant, Nathaniel’s, when she took part in a local fundraiser for cancer research. “We have had such a powerful response from our community that we felt we needed to do something,” says Lance Mohring, President of Restaurantica.  “Based on feedback from members, we know that people are upset and appalled that she was fired for going bald for charity. So we decided, on behalf of our members, to donate $1,000 to the Cops for Cancer Charity.
