Teeing Off 34 Stories Above Omni San Diego Hotel, Baird Hits
Bulls-Eye Inside Padres PETCO Park
P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Inc. (NASDAQ:PFCB) will offer everyone in
America a free order of the restaurant’s signature lettuce wraps to
celebrate the chipping skills of PGA pro Briny Baird. Baird teed-off
this morning from 375 feet in the air atop the Omni Hotel and landed
eight of ten shots inside a bulls-eye 230 yards below in the outfield of
PETCO Park, home of the San Diego Padres. His accuracy was also
celebrated with a $25,000 donation to the San Diego Navy/Marine Corps
Relief Society.
“This event was a great opportunity to pair our sponsorship of Briny
Baird with one of the most popular items on our menu,” said Rick Tasman,
Chief Operating Officer, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro. “Whether you order
lettuce wraps every time you dine at our restaurant or have never tried
our signature appetizer, we hope that Briny’s golfing feat will give
everyone in America the chance to enjoy them.”
The offer can be redeemed by going to www.pfchangs.com.
There, guests are asked to click on the Briny Baird graphic to provide
their e-mail address and receive the coupon via email. A purchase of an
entrée is required to accompany the coupon.
P.F. Chang’s, the Padres and the Omni San Diego Hotel will also be
rewarding San Diego’s military servicemen with 3,000 complimentary
tickets to the game on Monday, June 8. To book rooms, please call the
Omni's reservation number at 1-800-THE-OMNI and be sure to request the
