COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Oscar and Evelyn Overton Charitable Foundation
The values of our Company's founders, Oscar and Evelyn Overton, have truly shaped our
Company's culture and we are proud to continue their fine tradition of community support.
Established in 2001, the mission of the Foundation is to not only act as a means to
raise funds for charitable causes, but to also serve as a catalyst energizing our growing
number of caring staff members and bringing the great Cheesecake Factory tradition
of concern for our guests and their communities under a unified effort. During 2003, the
Foundation organized a number of events, two of which are featured below.

The First Annual Charity Golf
Tournament, held on June 30, 2003
at the Spanish Hills Country Club
in Camarillo, California, raised
nearly $200,000 to support City
of Hope and the Foundation. The
Foundation is grateful to the many
suppliers, associates and staff for
their participation in this very
successful event.

dinner to over 1,200 homeless and lowincome
individuals and families at facilities
located in Los Angeles, Washington D.C.
and Miami.
