Kinder's Donates $10,000 to Friends of Faith Breast Cancer Research
PLEASANT HILL, Calif., Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Kinder's Corp and BBQ*Deli (www.kindersbbq.com), a family-owned, retail, franchise, and catering company, pledged $1.00 from the sale of every chicken sandwich sold in October to support the fight against breast cancer with a final tally of $10,000. The donation will be made to Friends of Faith, www.faithfancher.org, whose mission is to provide support and information to women who are diagnosed with breast cancer, especially uninsured and under-served women.
Presentation of the check to Friends of Faith board members will be held at Kinder's corporate offices later this month in Pleasant Hill, CA.
"The success of the month-long fundraising event was in large part due to our customers' generosity," stated Paula Kinder. "It's important to take every opportunity to contribute to a cause that touches us personally."
"This generous gift will fund critical services for poor and uninsured women who often have nowhere else to turn," said Friends of Faith Treasurer Tammerlin Drummond, Faith Fancher's stepdaughter. "We look forward to working with Kinder's in the future to support women battling this terrible disease."
"In 2010, our family was deeply touched by friends' diagnosis of breast cancer," Justin Kinder continued. "And while not all of them won the battle against this disease, it is in their honor and their courage to fight that motivated our participation in the pursuit to find a cure."
