Rick Erwin Dining Group

GREENVILLE, SC – The Rick Erwin Dining Group (REDG) announces a $25,000 pledge to the Meals on Wheels of Greenville Capital Campaign, supporting the company’s core value of “Commitment to
Community” through their Crab Cakes for a Cause initiative.
The Crab Cakes for a Cause initiative was created by the dining group in 2023 as a way to draw attention to non-profits in need of community support and to create a program that provides more meaningful
financial and volunteer support by the company and its employees. The popular Company Crab Cake, found on all six restaurant’s menus, is given special attention to help create the awareness of these
organizations.
The donation was presented to Catriona Carlisle, Executive Director of Meals on Wheels, and is designated toward their $13 million capital campaign funding the construction of a new facility in Greenville. Construction began in January 2025 and is expected to be completed by early 2026.
Michael Ivey, Owner and Chief Financial Officer at REDG shared, “We adopted this initiative as a Core Value of our company and call it our Commitment to Community; we see our financial and volunteer
support as our corporate responsibility to the communities we serve”. Ivey, who has been CFO for REDG since 2009, added, “With this pledge to the Meals on Wheels Capital Campaign, our Crab Cakes for a
Cause initiative has enabled us to cross the threshold of $100,000 in donations to our partner non-profits since the initiative was created in 2023. We are so grateful for the ongoing support from our guests.”
