On Monday, October 19 from 6:30 p.m., linebacker Chad Greenway will trade his uniform and helmet for plates and an apron.

Joined by fellow Vikings and other celebrities, Chad is teaming up with Manny’s Steakhouse for Celebrity Waiter Night, an evening featuring exceptional food and an exciting auction to help Chad’s Lead The Way Foundation enrich the lives of individuals and families in need.

“I hope everyone who attended last year will return – and bring a friend,” says Chad, “because the need is greater than ever, and this year’s 4th Annual event will be better than ever.”

Celebrity Waiter Night will begin with a silent auction/cocktail reception featuring passed hors d’oeuvres, followed by a family-style dinner prepared by Executive Chef Jason Smith. Guests will enjoy Manny’s menu served family-style including steakhouse salads, dry-aged steaks, decadent seafood offering and an array of sides. Paired with great wines and topped off with a linebacker-sized Manny’s Brownie.

“Last year’s event was an astonishing success, and we can’t wait to do it again,” says Chad. “Being servers for a night helps us serve people in need every day – and it’s an absolute blast.”
