P.F. Chang’s
multiple locations
P.F. Chang’s has teamed up with the National Breast Cancer Foundation to help in the battle against breast cancer — and all that you have to do is eat sushi. For every California or Tuna Roll sold, P.F. Chang’s will donate $1 to the NBCF. In addition, P.F. Chang’s has gone social. Take a picture with P.F. Chang’s pink-painted horses and post it on social media (facebook, twitter, intstagram and pinterest) with hashtag #PaintPFChangsPink and the restaurant will donate $1 to the NBCF.
