Chicken Salad Chick Brings Back Cookies for a Cure to Support Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Chicken Salad Chick's Commitment to Childhood Cancer Awareness

Chicken Salad Chick is striking a sweet note this September with the return of its beloved "Cookies for a Cure" initiative. This promotion is designed to raise both awareness and funds for CURE Childhood Cancer, a nonprofit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, that is dedicated to fighting pediatric cancer through research and supporting affected families more effectively.

Originating in 2017, the "Cookies for a Cure" campaign has made a notable impact within the community. The signature Lemon Burst Buttercream Cookies, a delightful treat featuring a zesty lemon frosting, will be sold at Chicken Salad Chick locations nationwide. The initiative has seen increasing support year after year, and with over 310 locations now, the brand anticipates this year's drive will achieve significant fundraising milestones, potentially setting records in its history.

At a recent franchisee conference for Chicken Salad Chick, executives were proud to announce a donation of $330,000 to CURE Childhood Cancer, which reflects the substantial contributions made from this annual campaign along with other fundraising efforts such as their Giving Card program. Scott Deviney, the President and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick, emphasized, "Cookies for a CURE is one of the most meaningful initiatives we do, and the incredible support from our guests has inspired us to raise the bar."

He continued to express the hope that, as the franchise continues to expand its reach, it can amplify its efforts to assist children battling cancer, stating that the partnership with CURE Childhood Cancer is a key part of their mission—to lend a helping hand in times of need. The Lemon Burst Buttercream Cookie not only embodies a delicious taste but also serves as a symbol of support, showcasing the gold ribbon that represents childhood cancer awareness.

As families grapple with the harsh realities of pediatric cancer, CURE Childhood Cancer works tirelessly to provide not just financial assistance but a community of hope and support. Kristin Connor, the CEO of CURE Childhood Cancer, shared her gratitude, stating, "Chicken Salad Chick's commitment to children with cancer inspires us year after year. The Cookies for a Cure campaign not only raises vital funds for research and support but also demonstrates to families that their communities are standing with them in this fight."

Founded in 2008 by Stacy and Kevin Brown, Chicken Salad Chick has grown from a single restaurant in Auburn, Alabama, to a national phenomenon with locations across 22 states. The company prides itself on offering a wide menu that features over a dozen unique chicken salad flavors, alongside fresh sides, sandwiches, and desserts, making it a top choice for patrons seeking wholesome dining options.

The Chicken Salad Chick Foundation has further extended its reach beyond childhood cancer by focusing on alleviating food insecurity through their various charitable initiatives. As it marks another year of the "Cookies for a Cure" campaign, their efforts highlight the importance of community-driven actions that support not just fundraising, but also awareness related to critical issues such as childhood cancer.
