AYLUS Frisco & Plano Branch recently partnered with Chen’s Restaurant (四川印象) to promote community engagement and mutual growth through a creative fundraising initiative. As part of this collaboration, our volunteers designed and distributed promotional flyers featuring both parties’ logos. Customers who presented the flyer at the restaurant received a free bowl of ice jelly. In return, Chen’s Restaurant (四川印象) pledged to donate 5% of the proceeds from those purchases to support our community service projects.
This partnership quickly proved to be a success. Our volunteers helped raise awareness of Chen’s Restaurant (四川印象) in the community, bringing new customers to enjoy their food while supporting a meaningful cause. On 10/18/2025, our youth leaders visited the restaurant to collect the donation check of $135.51. Since this donation represents 5% of the total sales generated through the promotion, our flyer campaign helped the restaurant achieve approximately $2,710.20 in additional sales (calculated as $135.51 ÷ 5%).
To show our appreciation, our youth leaders presented handmade bracelets to the restaurant staffs as a heartfelt token of thanks for their generosity and community spirit.
Because of the outstanding results and positive community response, Chen’s Restaurant (四川印象) has decided to extend this partnership from a one-month trial to a year-round program. This continuation reflects the mutual benefits and strong relationship built between our organization and the restaurant.
This collaboration has truly become a win-win success:
-
Our organization raised valuable funds to support community service projects.
- The restaurant gained extra business, positive publicity, and stronger community connections.
-
Both partners demonstrated how teamwork between local businesses and youth organizations can make a lasting, positive impact.
We sincerely thank Chen’s Restaurant (四川印象) for their continued support and commitment to making a difference in our community. We look forward to even more successful collaboration ahead!
