GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.,
Feb. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Red
Robin team members from around the country combined their powers in
a big way to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital! The
casual dining restaurant chain designed 300 super hero-themed capes
with inspirational messages to help patients feel invincible as
they endure treatment to conquer childhood cancer and other
life-threatening diseases.
"Corporate social responsibility is at the core of Red Robin's
business strategy and we've always believed in giving back to the
communities that we serve," said Jonathan
Muhtar, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at
Red Robin. "Our team took great pride in working together to
provide the children at St. Jude with an uplifting chance to step
away from their rigorous treatment schedules and enjoy the simple
pleasures of being a kid."
The capes were hand-crafted by Red Robin team members at the
company's annual leadership conference in Las Vegas and sent directly to St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital's headquarters in Memphis, Tenn. Red Robin is also rewarding
these super heroes with an extra special treat. From now through
the end of the year, any St. Jude patient who wears their cape to a
Red Robin restaurant can enjoy a free kid's Bottomless Root Beer
Float during their visit.
