Kingstowne Red, Hot & Blue Restaurant to Support American Diabetes Month (November)

Red, Hot & Blue has joined up with the American Diabetes Association during this November’s American Diabetes Month to raise awareness of healthy eating and to support the ADA’s efforts to Stop Diabetes.  Red, Hot & Blue restaurant is located on 6482 Landsdowne Centre, Alexandria, VA 22315.

· One in ten people, or over 25 million Americans, have been diagnosed with diabetes and 1.9 million new cases are being diagnosed every year. 

· One in three children born since 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime if current trends continue.

Red, Hot & Blue restaurants will donate a portion of their proceeds during November when diners order anything off the menu.  By dining at Red, Hot & Blue and contributing to the American Diabetes Association, we can eat comfortably AND help raise funds for diabetes research programs.

The risk of Type 2 diabetes can be significantly reduced with a commitment to a healthy diet, no smoking, exercise and regular doctor visits. This is something we want to teach our children – diabetes is not inevitable, but you must take steps to stop diabetes. 

Come out to Kingstowne Red, Hot & Blue restaurant from November 1-30 and enjoy some of the best barbeque in the area while donating to a great cause.
