In celebration of Financial Literacy Month, Fogo de Chão (www.fogodechao.com [3]) will hold its third annual special dinner event to support Junior Achievement of Central Maryland (JA).

The Brazilian steakhouse’s Inner Harbor locale will offer a discounted “JA Dinner Package,” featuring unlimited servings of fire-roasted meats prepared by gaucho chefs, as well as a gourmet salad and sides bar, glass of wine or a cocktail, non-alcoholic beverages and dessert.

“Fogo de Chão is excited to support Junior Achievement of Central Maryland and contribute to their programs to prepare children for their future” said Jair Cavagnolli, general manager of Fogo de Chão in Baltimore. “Many of our Fogo de Chão restaurants across the country proudly participate in this event and we look forward to continuing to make a difference in Baltimore.”

JA will receive 100 percent of the dinner package proceeds from guests who make reservations by contacting the non-profit.

“Last year’s event was a sell-out, and we are thrilled that Fogo de Chao once again will host this fabulous dinner that will allow hundreds of youth in Baltimore to receive financial literacy education,” said Kim Denis, vice president, operations & special events for Junior Achievement of Central Maryland. “We hope JA supporters will take advantage of this opportunity to plan the perfect date, family night out or business dinner for up to 12.”
