The folks at Bonefish Grill announce a community fundraising program, in conjunction with MDA, to help fight muscular dystrophy diseases. From July 1 to August 6, guests can support muscular dystrophy research with a private donation at the end of their meals.

"The Muscular Dystrophy Association continues to be an important part of Bonefish Grill's charitable community outreach efforts. It combats neuromuscular diseases like Friedreichs Ataxia (FARA), which is particularly of interest to us. We're honored to raise awareness and help find a cure for diseases that affect more than one million Americans," says John Cooper, president of Bonefish Grill.

MDA is fighting 43 neuromuscular diseases through research, clinics and education worldwide. The association is dedicated to partnerships between scientists and citizens, and support for afflicted individuals and families.
