Pentagon City California Pizza Kitchen Restaurant to Support American Diabetes Month (November)

California Pizza Kitchen at Pentagon City has joined up with the American Diabetes Association during this November’s American Diabetes Month to raise awareness of healthy eating and to support the ADA’s efforts to Stop Diabetes.  California Pizza Kitchen is located at 1201 S Hayes St, Arlington, VA 22202.  This is the only California Pizza Kitchen participating.

American Diabetes Month, sponsored by the American Diabetes Association, wants to raise awareness of this epidemic disease:

· One in ten people, or over 25 million Americans, have been diagnosed with diabetes and 1.9 million new cases are being diagnosed every year. 

· One in three children born since 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime if current trends continue. 

California Pizza Kitchen will donate a portion of proceeds during November when diners order anything off the menu.  By dining at California Pizza Kitchen and contributing to the American Diabetes Association, we can eat well AND help raise funds for diabetes research programs.

The risk of Type 2 diabetes can be significantly reduced with a commitment to a healthy diet, no smoking, exercise and regular doctor visits. This is something we want to teach our children – diabetes is not inevitable, but you must take steps to stop diabetes. 

Come out to the Pentagon City California Pizza Kitchen restaurant from November 1-30 and enjoy some of the best Italian food in the area while donating to a great cause.
