Lake Geneva Restaurant Week isn’t just about great food, it’s also about great causes. The Charity Check is a tradition created to raise awareness about non-profit organizations doing important work in our community and provide much-needed monetary donations to support their mission.
During Restaurant Week 2026 (April 18-26), you'll receive a Charity Check Ballot each time you dine in or get takeout from a participating Restaurant Week location. Use this Ballot to vote for one of the Charity Check nominees. (The more you dine, the more you can vote!) Organizations with the top votes will share a $10,000 donation courtesy of our 2026 Charity Check Sponsor, Tito's Handmade Vodka.
