Ike's Place Offering Coupon Deal for Charity

You get a break on your 40 Year Old Virgin, kids in Tanzania get a vocational center.

For fans of Ike's Place, the clock is running out on a chance to save green on sandwich purchases while boosting a good cause. Owner Ike Shehadeh has partnered with MiKind, a new Groupon-style service with a charity twist. Shehadeh wants to raise funds for Mama Hope's St. Timothy's School in Tanzania, seeking to raise $2,000 to help build an orphanage with living quarters for 100 children, a vocational training center, and a community garden.

The way it works: Until midnight tomorrow, Feb. 19, you pay $12 for a coupon worth $20 at Ike's Place ― $4 will be donated to Mama Hope. Maybe the best part is that the coupons never expire; Ike's says it'll accept them anytime. The fine print: coupons are for use only at Ike's San Francisco location. No cash back or credit (meaning you have to buy $20's worth ― or more ― of food). Sounds like a good deal to us.

Hi,

Just wanted to mention here in the comments that Ike extended the deal for a week, so if you catch this after your weekend holiday you can still help Mama Hope raise funds.

It's going to be up all week, Feb 20th to 26th.

Thanks!

Groupon is really doing the job......I am amazed to see groupon to being so successful and actually i am also a user of groupon i passes over http://grouponbot.com on the net some 2 years ago when this service was launched and from that time i was thinking that someday this site will gain the reputation of facebook and simmilar sites. It offers cool, i mean awesome national deals everywhere especially for the people everywhere in the world who seem to be discount hunters or discount lovers
