Ruby’s
Diner Partners with Children’s
Miracle
Network to Benefit Local Children’s Hospitals
|
Irvine,
CA – September 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / Ruby’s
Diner locations across Southern California and Hawaii are teaming up
with CMN Children’s Hospitals in the name of charity to benefit their local
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals including Children’s Hospital of Orange
County (CHOC Children’s), Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Rady Children’s
Hospital in San Diego and Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children
in Hawaii. Beginning Sept. 1 through Oct. 10, Ruby’s Diner locations will
be accepting donations to support the CMN children’s hospitals in their
county with 100% of the money raised at each location going to the local
CMN hospital.
In
honor of this partnership, Ruby’s is introducing the Muddy Gummy Goody
Shake, a limited-time only kid-inspired treat. The Muddy Gummy Goody Shake
features a scrumptious blend of vanilla ice cream, Hershey’s chocolate
syrup, Oreo cookie crumbles, then garnished with a whipped cream, more
Oreo cookie crumbles and colorful gummy worms.
“The
Muddy Gummy Goody shake was created to represent the creativity and fun
kids have when they play with their food. Ruby’s wants the shake to be
the symbol for child appreciation during this fundraising effort for the
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals,” said Doug Cavanaugh, founder and
CEO of Ruby’s Diner.
For
30 years, Ruby’s Diners have taken pride in being an active part of the
communities they serve. Ruby’s “Fun” Raiser programs contribute to local
schools, churches, sports teams and other community groups are an important
part of the company’s family-driven operations.
Guests
who contribute to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fundraiser will
be recognized with special Miracle Balloon icons that feature their name.
These icons will be used to create decorative murals for the windows and
a wall at each Ruby’s to showcase the community spirit of each location.
