THOUSAND OAKS, CA--(Marketwire - November 12, 2009) - More than 15 employees of Meathead Movers
replaced their uniforms with tuxedoes and moving boxes with martinis and
converged on Fiamme Restaurant and Bar in Thousand Oaks this week to host
and serve nearly 120 patrons during Meathead Movers' Girls Night Out. One
of Fiamme's "Fire Up The Community!" events, the evening raised more than
$7,000 for the United Women's Leadership Council of United Way of Ventura
County (UWLC).
"I believe last night was the best Girls' Night Out of the seven we've put
on in the past three years," said Aaron B. Steed, President, CEO of
Meathead Movers. "I received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback
and I don't recall a single lady (or Meathead) not grinning for the entire
evening."
Formed in 2007, the UWLC inspires, celebrates, educates, and engages
individuals in philanthropy and community service to help empower female
foster youth in Ventura County to be self-sufficient and stable enough to
function independently once they leave the foster care system.
"We are proud to work with the United Way and Meathead Movers to help raise
money for such a meaningful local cause," said Liz Beddow, proprietor of
Fiamme. "When women join together, our voices, vision and leadership have
phenomenal impact."
The "Fire Up The Community" program was started by Fiamme proprietors Liz
Beddow and Jerry White to support non-profit organizations throughout the
area with their fundraising efforts. To date, the popular restaurant and
music venue has helped raise urgently needed funds for Agoura High School,
the Boys & Girls Club of Ventura, the Dignity® Memorial Vietnam Wall, the
Lilly of the Valley AIDS Organization Mission (Love Fest), the Thousand
Oaks Philharmonic, and the United Way WLC among others. For information or
