The National Exemplar 6880 Wooster Pike, Mariemont A pillar of the Mariemont community for more than 25 years, The National Exemplar offers familiar menu favorites to its loyal supper club patrons. Breakfast and lunch are served 7 days a week from 7 a.m. till 2:30 p.m. featuring favorites like the Tri-Fecta— your choice of eggs, bacon, sausage ham or goetta and either a multi-grain pancake or Belgian waffle. For a boozy breakfast grab one of their brunch cocktails like the Tip Top Bloody Mary that is topped with "everything but the kitchen sink." Photo: Hailey Bollinger

On April 29, the National Exemplar is donating all net proceeds from its 5-9 p.m. dinner service to the Gromada Head & Neck Cancer Foundation. 

The restaurant’s “Great Food For a Great Cause” event has no special menu or program or speeches, it’s just an evening dedicated to raising funds for the foundation, which helps to provide money for research for the development of treatments and cures for head and neck cancers. So order whatever you want that Monday; your money will be going to help fund the Gromada Head & Neck Cancer Foundation’s mission.

The foundation is named after Brandon C. Gromada, a former National Exemplar employee who died of an aggressive poorly differentiated squamous cell cancer. 

“This is a great way to mark Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month in April,” said Karen Gromada, Brandon’s mother and chair of the board of his foundation, in a press release. “We’re grateful to The National Exemplar for their continued support of Brandon’s memory, his family and the foundation through this annual fundraiser.”  

Reservations can be made by clicking here or calling the restaurant at 513-271-2103.

The National Exemplar is located at 6880 Wooster Pike, Mariemont. More info: nationalexemplar.com.
