In October, Rodizio Grill locations nationwide donated 100 percent the Rabanada dessert sales to the Image Reborn Foundation. Collectively from the Rabanada dessert sales and additional support throughout 2024, Rodizio Grill donated $81,000 to the Foundation. Rodizio Grill’s Founder Ivan Utrera alongside Managers Diego Quiroa & Thiago Navarro, and Nick Utrera, VP of Operations, presented this check to the Image Reborn Foundation Founder, Dr. Renato Saltz, at the Foundation’s annual Gala on November 2, 2024.
Image Reborn Foundation provides weekend retreats to breast cancer survivors at no cost to participants. These retreats help women reclaim their sense of personal power and empower them to live beyond breast cancer.
Image Reborn was founded by plastic surgeon Dr. Renato Saltz, a close friend of Rodizio Grill’s President and Founder Ivan Utrera. Dr. Saltz, Chair of the Education Council of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, began the Image Reborn Foundation after seeing a need wasn’t being met.
“We put these women through all of the treatments and surgeries that fix their bodies, but find that they still are very sad when they come back to the clinics for checkups,” stated Dr. Saltz. “Some have family issues that are still unresolved. Many go through divorce or lose their jobs and have problems with their children; I realized that there was still a lot for these women to deal with that we, as physicians, weren’t addressing.” Rodizio Grill has been a proud sponsor of Image Reborn since its inception.
Taking place in Utah and Colorado, the retreats are customized to the needs of those attending, and may include discussion groups, breast cancer education, nutritional information and exercise opportunities, journaling, massage therapy and rejuvenation.
