CASE Launches Summer Sweepstakes "Tuesday Nites Dine-Out"

Columbia, Mo. (July 9, 2007) - CASE is launching its summer sweepstakes "Tuesday Nites Dine-Out" which will run until the end of August.

Columbia residents who dine out after 4 pm on Tuesday evenings in any restaurant in town can keep their receipts and register them on the CASE website (www.casemo.org) within 48 hours in order to be eligible to win. The sweepstakes include weekly prizes of $25 gift certificates to over 50 Columbia restaurants and monthly grand prizes of $200 night out on the town including dinner and entertainment.

"'Tuesday Nites Dine-Out' is CASE's effort to get folks out to support and enjoy Columbia's local businesses and smoke-free dining environment," said Dean Andersen, CASE project coordinator. "Local surveys tell us that 65% to 70% of Columbians support smoke-free bars and restaurants and research from across the country shows that going smoke-free is good for a community's health and business."
