0714 Edgewood Night Out
Edgewood Night Out welcomes area families to dine at area businesses to support Edgewood Elementary.
It will be light until around 7 p.m. when Edgewood Night Out returns Tuesday, March 10, thanks to Sunday's time change.
Edgewood Night Out occurs on the second Tuesday of each month during the school year from 3 p.m. to the close of business. From August to May, businesses along the Edgewood Business District give 10 percent of their revenues from the evening to the Edgewood PTO. These financial gifts go to various needs of Edgewood Elementary School, including teacher grant requests for school supplies.
Although the charitable spirit of Edgewood businesses has been a tradition for a number of years, in the past there were different philanthropic nights for the individual restaurants. More recently, the PTO adopted the name “Edgewood Night Out” and began promoting the monthly event on a common evening.
Edgewood Night Out participants include Saw’s BBQ, Edgewood Creamery, Sam’s, La Bamba and Escape Day Spa. The PTO also sells Edgewood gear such as Edgewood T-shirts and tumblers at the events.
