Dining out that gives back.
PTA Restaurant Week connects local restaurants with school PTAs for a two-week dining fundraiser. Every qualifying order donates 20% straight to the school — at zero cost to the PTA.
What is PTA Restaurant Week?
Modeled on the success of NYC Restaurant Week (est. 1992), PTA Restaurant Week is a bi-annual event held in collaboration with schools, PTAs, and local restaurants. Participating restaurants offer specially created promotional menu items and donate 20% of the value of those items — ordered dine-in, take-out, or pick-up — during the promotional window back to the local school PTA.
Restaurants Promote
Local restaurants offer 2–5 special menu items for lunch and dinner during the two-week window.
Families Dine
Neighborhood families dine in, take out, or pick up at participating restaurants near their school.
Schools Get Funded
20% of every promotional-menu order is donated directly from the restaurant to the school PTA.
Two audiences, one program
Whether you run a restaurant or represent a school PTA, PTARW is built so the work is light and the benefit is real.
For Restaurants
Get in front of hundreds of neighborhood families during a traditionally slower season — for a fraction of what comparable big-city restaurant weeks charge.
- Estimated +30–200% revenue lift during the promotional window
- Co-branded marketing materials, PR & social inclusion
- Listed on the PTARW directory by state, county, and school
For Schools & PTAs
Raise real funds by engaging the community, the school, and local restaurants — with no fundraiser logistics and no cost to your PTA.
- Always $0 — PTARW never charges schools or PTAs
- PTARW never touches the money; donations flow restaurant → PTA directly
- Banners, digital kit, and PR support included

Built by someone who's done this before
Founder Emerson Silveira moved to New York City in 1992 — the year NYC Restaurant Week was created — then went on to launch Restaurant Week Brasil in 2005, growing it to more than 1,500 restaurants a year with sponsors including Mastercard and Visa. PTA Restaurant Week brings that experience home to South Florida's school communities.
