Schlotzsky's is launching a month-long charity drive in September to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Schlotzsky's aims to raise $200,000 this year, which would total more than $500,000 raised through the partnership in three years.

Schlotzsky's Step Up! campaign, features a "Give $1, Get $1" system-wide promotion, which offers guests a coupon for $1 off their next Schlotzsky's entrée purchase for every $1 they donate to JDRF through September 28.

Participating Schlotzsky's locations will also host a National Fundraising Night on Sept. 9, donating 15 percent of all sales from 5-8 p.m. directly to JDRF.

"September is really a win-win month for our loyal guests, who can feel good about coming into our restaurants," said Kelly Roddy, president of Schlotzsky's, in a company press release. "JDRF is a cause that's close to our hearts and we're excited to raise money while offering a significant value for families looking to save money during this busy time of year."
