Grand Opening Celebration In Two Days!
uWink to Host Charity Event for Juvenile Diabetes at Grand Opening Celebration for New Restaurant
Special Guests will be Treated to uWink's Unique Combination of Food, Drinks and Digital Media
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--uWink, Inc. (OTCBB: UWNK - News), a publicly held digital entertainment company, will host a charity Grand Opening event benefiting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) on November 30, 2006. The celebration will be held at uWink's newly opened Woodland Hills location from 6:00pm - 10:00pm.
The invitation-only event will offer guests the opportunity to experience uWink's innovative combination of food, drinks and media first-hand while helping raise awareness and funds for the JDRF, the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 (juvenile) diabetes research worldwide.
"We are so excited to be able to leverage the buzz and excitement around the opening of the first uWink restaurant to help fight a disease that has personally touched so many families, including my own," said Mr. Bushnell, chief executive officer at uWink, Inc. "So many children who suffer from juvenile diabetes are robbed of a normal childhood and are unable to experience all the activities that come so easily to healthy children. We understand that longing for fun, entertainment and social connectivity; our restaurant was built on that exact premise. We hope that by joining with the JDRF we're able to help these kids get one step closer to a cure."
The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes children suddenly and requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin through a pump to manage the disease's symptoms. There is no known cure for diabetes, which can eventually cause kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation. The JDRF estimates that as many as three million Americans may be suffering from type 1 diabetes.
uWink is an entirely new restaurant concept that combines food, drinks, and entertainment - inviting guests to eat, drink and play at the same time, from their tables. The first restaurant opened last month at the Westfield Promenade in Woodland Hills, California. uWink is the latest innovation from Nolan Bushnell, the founder and former CEO of Atari and the Chuck E. Cheese restaurant chain - now CEC Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:CEC - News). Guests order food, drinks and media directly via touchscreen terminals at their tables while uWink runners deliver guests' selections quickly and accurately. Guests can participate in the entire uWink experience as a single table, engage other tables, or eventually interact with guests and tables at other uWink restaurants.
Attendance at uWink's grand opening celebration is by invitation only. For information on receiving an invitation, please send an email to benefit4diabetes@yahoo.com. For more information on the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, please visit www.jdrf.org.
