Raising Cane's Ohio Limited recently received the honorable 2009 Community Partner Award from the American Red Cross Central Ohio Blood Services Region for the company's dedicated commitment to helping people in need.
Throughout the past year, Raising Canes Ohio Limited has supported 17 Red Cross blood drives - generating 1,340 donations, and saving a potential of 4,020 lives.
"Raising Cane's has shown outstanding commitment to serving the community through their support of the mission of the American Red Cross," said Rodney Wilson, marketing strategy officer. "Not only do they provide the food for donors, but they also show personal dedication by setting up their equipment and working at the drives, handing the food to each donor themselves."
Throughout the year, Raising Cane's partnered with the blood program, and its mission to help patients in need, by providing free food, drinks, and coupons on-site to entice people to give the gift of life. Their efforts have supported blood drives on The Ohio State University campus, throughout the Columbus area, and via high profile media-sponsored drives held at key points throughout the year.
