## Story

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 25, 2026 // PRNewswire // -- Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. is proud to announce a partnership with The Faris Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children and families impacted by childhood cancer. To honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a portion of the proceeds from all kids' meals purchased at participating U.S. Red Robin restaurants in September will be donated to support The Faris Foundation's mission.

"At Red Robin, we're committed to making a meaningful difference in the communities we serve, and we're proud to partner with The Faris Foundation to support children and families impacted by childhood cancer," said Dave Pace, CEO and president of Red Robin. "Through this partnership, 10 cents of every kids' meal purchased in September helps support The Faris Foundation's mission while giving our guests an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

The Faris Foundation holistically supports children with cancer and their families. From Sept. 1 – 30, every purchase of a kids' meal at participating Red Robin restaurants will support the organization's mission and programs, including pediatric cancer research funding, hospital-based creative arts programs and Good JuJu care packages that deliver joy and magic in the most challenging of times.

"We are incredibly grateful for Red Robin's partnership and the support of its guests," said Dr. Asha Virani, co-founder and "Mommy" to the Foundation's Chief Angel Officers, Faris D. Virani. "Together, we can create brighter days and advance better treatments for children with cancer while bringing comfort, hope and encouragement to families when they need it most."

Guests who are not ordering off the kids' menu will also have the chance to make a voluntary donation during checkout for all online orders made at redrobin.com or on the Red Robin mobile app during the month of September.
