On Your Next Visit To Chicken Salad Chick, Go Ahead And Get Dessert—It's For A Good Cause

Cookie sales support CURE Childhood Cancer this month

Chicken Salad Chick is selling cookies for a good cause this month, giving us another reason to indulge.

We've been told that all proceeds from sales of Lemon Burst Buttercream Cookies "will go directly to CURE Childhood Cancer throughout the month of September, also known as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month."

“Cookies for a CURE has become a tremendous platform for us as an organization to make a tangible impact in the lives of so many children and families suffering the reality of this deadly, debilitating illness,” says Scott Deviney, CEO of Chicken Salad Chick.

The company's CSC Foundation has focused on finding a cure since its early days, as co-founder Kevin Brown sadly succumbed to cancer in 2015. This is the third year that the chicken-salad chain has done a promotion to benefit CURE Childhood Cancer.

The national nonprofit funds pediatric cancer research and supports families during treatment. Chicken Salad Chick expects to donate $40,000 to CURE based on its supply of cookies.

"Chicken Salad Chick’s support is such a driving force in our fight against childhood cancer,” says Kristin Connor, CEO of CURE Childhood Cancer. “Funds raised through cookie sales are invested in research aimed at developing effective, less toxic treatments for cancers that affect children. We are so grateful for the incredible partnership, the opportunity to raise substantial funds, and the crucial awareness Chicken Salad Chick is bringing to the crisis of cancer in children.”
