Huntington
Park, CA – February 2024 / NewsmakerAlert: Farmer
Boys®, the fast-casual restaurant serving award-winning burgers,
raised over $100,000 in 2023 benefitting long-lasting hospital partners
Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital
(LLUCH), UMC
Children’s Hospital, and Phoenix
Children’s Hospital. Throughout the year, guests had an opportunity
to donate via three different initiatives, with funds going to help save
children’s lives, provide updated medical devices, and assist the caregivers
and nurses. Due to the success of the fundraising campaigns, Farmer Boys
has pledged to continue its efforts in 2024 in continued support of these
organizations.
Farmer Boys’ fundraising
initiatives in 2023 included its round-up initiative where guests could
round up their change to the nearest dollar on purchases to be donated.
In addition, the brand launched a Fundraiser Wall across all locations
for guests and local businesses to view the progress of their donations
over time. Making the most impact, Farmer Boys donated one dollar from
every Strawberry Lemonade purchase, made between August 15 – October 30,
back to the local hospitals. In total, Farmer Boys raised a total of $93,174
for Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital in California; $8,631 for
UMC Children’s Hospital in Nevada and $3,006 for Phoenix Children’s Hospital
in Arizona.
“For the past 23 years, Farmer
Boys has made it its mission to support health care workers and children’s
health,” said Joe Adney,
vice president and chief marketing officer for Farmer Boys. “It’s rewarding
to know that even the small action of rounding up change can help lend
a helping hand to those in our communities. Our Strawberry Lemonade drink
was very popular this year and we wanted to utilize that popularity to
make a difference. We are so very thankful to our loyal guests across California,
Nevada, and Arizona for helping us make this possible. It is a privilege
to have the opportunity to give back to the communities that have supported
Farmer Boys’ mission all these years. We look forward to continuing these
partnerships for many years to come!”
