Oxford, AL – Texas Roadhouse in Oxford, Alabama, isn’t just known for its legendary bread, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and lively atmosphere—it’s also a local champion for schools, first responders, and community programs. As a locally owned franchise, the Oxford location is committed to giving back in creative, engaging, and delicious ways.
Supporting Schools and Educators
Texas Roadhouse has crafted a variety of school partnership opportunities. From Tip-a-Teacher nights—where teachers take on the roles of servers and line dancers for tips—to Field Trips that blend fun with food (including bread making, crafts, and dancing), students and teachers are at the heart of their outreach. Field trips cost just $5 per student and a kid-friendly lunch. (
Outstanding students and teachers can also be recognized through monthly or quarterly certificates. The restaurant frequently partners with schools to support their events with branded coupons and certificates, and is always ready to set up a booth at school functions.
Fundraising That’s Fresh and Fun
Organizations can raise money through several creative programs:
- Frozen Bread Fundraisers: Offered seasonally, these allow groups to sell cases of Texas Roadhouse’s famous rolls and honey cinnamon butter with a 50/50 profit split.
- Dine to Donate Nights: 10% of the evening’s proceeds (excluding alcohol and tax) go directly to the participating nonprofit.
- Gift Card Fundraisers: Running from October through December, this fundraiser gives back 10% of all gift card sales and includes incentives and prizes for top sellers.
Partnering With First Responders, Sports Teams, and Nonprofits
The Tip-a-Teacher nights aren’t limited to educators—they’re also open to sports teams, police officers, firefighters, and nonprofits. These spirited events bring the community together while raising money and awareness.
Texas Roadhouse also offers sponsorships, pre-game meal donations in exchange for field signage, and support for athletic teams and events through coupons, bouncebacks, and meal contributions.
Community Events and Expo Opportunities
The restaurant is always excited to be part of local events. Their team can set up an expo booth with Andy Armadillo visits, gift basket raffles (valued between $300 and $1,000), and free handouts. Peanut and jerky sales offer additional fundraising opportunities, with flexible pricing and proceeds going straight back to the organization.
- Peanut Fundraiser: $25 per case (72 bags) and comes with free appetizer cards attached.
- Jerky Sales: $55 per case of 12 bags, with multiple flavors available.
Bread with a Purpose
