COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Max & Erma's Restaurants and Boys & Girls Clubs of America are teaming up for the Maximize Their Future campaign at participating restaurants beginning April 1 to May 5. The campaign is expected to raise $40,000 for Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

The exclusive new entrees, named by Boys & Girls Club members, are the The Cheesy Cheesy 1-2-3 and Sassy Classy Chicken. The Cheesy Cheesy 1-2-3 features thick-cut Texas toast filled with sliced tomatoes, melted mozzarella and feta cheese with a tomato-basil spread.

The Sassy Classy Chicken is Max & Erma's version of chicken Caprese with grilled marinated chicken breasts topped with melted mozzarella and homemade roasted tomato salsa, served with grilled asparagus and herb rice.
