## Story

“Strawberry Fest at Big Boy is a fan favorite! As we re-open our doors across the state, this is a great way to continue our Big Boy Gives Back program that started during COVID-19. Over the past 3 months, Big Boy Gives Back donated over 20,000 meals to healthcare heroes and families in need.”

Said Jon Maurer, Vice President of Marketing, Big Boy Restaurants. “Community is at the heart of Big Boy and with thousands of families impacted across Midland county, our strawberry pie fundraiser is a win, win. Our guests win with delicious the taste of our strawberry pie and the community wins through a Big Boy Gives Back donation.”

“We so appreciate Big Boy restaurants providing this support to help our community recover from the devastation of the flood,” said Sharon Mortensen, President/CEO of the Midland Area Community Foundation. “The monies raised will go toward relief and rebuilding efforts. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Big Boy restaurants.”

As restaurants reopen across Michigan, Big Boy has implemented all social distancing best practices including team members wearing masks, table separation for guests, hand sanitizer as guests enter the restaurant, contactless and disposable menus. As mandated, the restaurant waiting area is unavailable, so guests are encouraged to call the restaurant in advance to reserve a table.
