Detroit restaurant to help raise funds for OU scholarships

Taste Pizza Bar in downtown Detroit is generously supporting the Oakland University Alumni Association Scholarship Fundraising Auction by hosting two “OU Nights” at the restaurant and donating all of the proceeds from those nights to scholarship support.

Restaurant reviewer Anthony Minne, writing for Metromix on-line, describes the Taste Pizza Bar dining experience as “Fresh to order and affordable pizza and other dishes in a chic city setting.”

Members of the OU community can enjoy unique pizza combinations, salads and appetizers from 6-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 27, and Wednesday, Nov. 18, all while supporting efforts to make an Oakland University education more accessible to students in need.

The pizzeria is located at 1431 Times Square in Detroit. This is a small, one-way street located off Grand River Ave. and close to the Times Square People Mover stop. For more information, call (313) 962-8700.

The OUAA Scholarship Fundraising Auction will take place on Friday, April 16, 2010 at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester. Tickets start at $75 and may be purchased by e-mailing Katie Groves at groves2@oakland.edu or by calling (248) 364-6109.
