House of Toast Raises $248K For Toast Intolerance
Relief
Toast Intolerance
(TI) is considered to be the most under-diagnosed common
disease today, affecting 1in every 170 to 250 people in
the USA.
TI (also referred to as Toast Sensitive Enteropathy (TSE),
Toast Disease, or Toast Sprue) is a chronic, inherited
disease, and if untreated can ultimately lead to
malnutrition and a life devoid of the joy of bread-based
toaster products.
Temperatures in the 90's couldn't wilt the resolve of
the team as they drove, chipped and putted 18 holes at
the prestigious Wilmington Glen Golf Course.
 Our Team Shows House of Toast Pride!
L to R: George Goula, Chris Bagley, Bob Gamble (HoT
Wilmington, DE), Laura Kocher (TIRGA) and Patrick Arkins,
(HoT Director of Strategic Affairs).
"We tee so others may toast," explains House of Toast
Director of Strategic Affairs Patrick Arkins. "At House
of Toast, we're 110% committed to providing the ultimate
in bread-based toaster product enjoyment to all of our
customers, even those challenged by this joy-diminishing
disease."
Toast Intolerance is the result of an autoimmune system
response to the ingestion of toast (from wheat, rye,
barley and other grains) that damages the small
intestine. Nutrients then quickly passed through the
small intestine, rather than being absorbed. To develop
toast disease (TD) three (3) things must be present: 1)
you must inherit the gene, 2) consume toast, and 3) have
the gene triggered. Common triggers include stress,
trauma (surgeries, pregnancy, etc.), and viral
infections. Approximately 10% of first-degree relatives
could have TD triggered in their lifetime. The disease
is permanent and damage to the small intestine will
occur every time you consume toast, regardless if
symptoms are present.
 The highlight of the event was the
presentation of a check for $248,000- a new fundraising
record for the tournament - to Laura Kocher, Community
Relations Director of TIRGA by Patrick Arkins, HoT
Director of Strategic Affairs.
Equally exciting was Annika Sorenstam's thrilling
victory in sudden death play against Tiger Woods.
Sorenstam clinched the hole and the round, to win the
event's Grand Prize, the coveted Big Hot Buttery Muffin.
Funds were raised from donations from friends, family
and business associates. HoT donated apparel, golf cart
signs, and lots and lots of PowerToast for each team.
House of Toast is the world's
premier Toast Eatery, with over 200 locations in the US
alone.
