City dining website to give profits to UW philanthropy event

By: Caitlin Gath /The Daily Cardinal  - March 5, 2008




Madtownmenus.com, an online dining guide, is set to team up with Delta Gamma for their annual philanthropy event, “Anchor Splash!”

Madtownmenus.com is a full service guide to many restaurants in the city, not just an online ordering site said Mike Finucane, director of madtownmenus.com.

“I want to dispel this notion as we get our name out there. We are a complete dining guide. You can view any restaurant in Madison, see their phone numbers, addresses and compare prices,” he said.

However, their goal this year is to become more involved in philanthropy.

March 3-7 is “Eat Cheap Week” on the site. All profits garnered from madtownmenus.com will be donated to Delta Gamma’s “Anchor Splash!”

Emily Wood, a member of Delta Gamma and a marketing director of madtownmenus.com, was eager to get the Greek system involved with the up-and-coming business.

“We really wanted to … find a way that would get people excited about it so we came up with this ‘Eat Cheap Week’ … which would definitely get the Greek system involved; all the sororities and fraternities support each other’s philanthropies,” Wood said.

“Anchor Splash!” will be held on March 30 at UW-Madison’s Southeast Recreational Facility, where teams compete in a day-long series of water sports.

All proceeds will be donated to the National Federation of the Blind.

In addition to donating all of their profits this week to Delta Gamma, madtownmenus.com is working with each restaurant to convince their customers to donate an additional dollar to each order for an extended period of time.

Madtownmenus.com has done a similar event like this one with the Delta Gamma chapter at the University of Florida.

“This is just a great, cool, in-touch way to get involved with the college community,” said Finucane.
