Rib City Grill raises over $7,000 for Cops and Kids Sharing Christmas

Nice article in the Daily Herald and a nice two days back in December..

Fans of "Law and Order: Criminal Intent," those seeking to help others at Christmastime and customers who just enjoy barbecued food gathered together last week, with the result that six kids will have a chance to do some Christmas shopping with a police officer on Saturday.

Toni Jorgensen of Rib City Grill had a benefit for two days at the restaurant, calling in assistance from her brother, actor Vincent D'Onofrio, who stars in the TV show. She said she was pleased with the results of the fundraising.

"We raised almost $3,000 in American Fork," she said. The goal was originally $2,000, but the restaurant's customers exceeded that. In the Sandy location, they collected more than $4,000 to help the effort.

"Everybody was just excited to see Vincent," she said. "They were also supporting the cause."
