There are so many reasons to celebrate...what's yours?
CALABASAS HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 5, 2009--
Since the launch of The Cheesecake Factory’s “Share Your Celebration”
Sweepstakes on April 23, nearly 10,000 people have shared their reasons
for celebrating life’s special moments by submitting their photos and
stories online. From wedding proposals to new jobs, birthdays and
friendship, these stories weave a tapestry of good news and celebratory
events, which are particularly uplifting during these uncertain economic
times. Even Professional Baseball player Carlos Peña celebrated his
recent Gold Glove award with family and friends at The Cheesecake
Factory in Tampa, FL!

to submit more photos and reasons to celebrate and enter the
“Celebration Gallery” to view the thousands of stories entered from all
over the country. Many of the stories are heartwarming, like Desiree’s
loving account of her mom learning to walk again after a debilitating
car accident. Other submissions are simple and sweet like Auntie Linda
“celebrating baby’s first birthday,” and others recount memorable
adventures, like the photo of Denny celebrating five years of blissful
retirement by zip lining upside-down through a tropical rain forest.
“We are humbled to have received so many submissions from all over
America in such a short amount of time,” says Founder, David Overton.
“Now more than ever people are celebrating the little joys in life, and
we are thrilled that our guests have chosen to share their celebrations
with us.”
