MILWAUKEE (September 1, 2022) – Cousins Subs ®
today launched Catering for a Cure, an initiative benefiting the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation’s (VLCF) Starr Children’s
Fund, which raises funds for pediatric cancer care and research . Throughout the month of September, Cousins Subs and their Make It Better Foundation will donate $15 from every
20-piece Party Box sold, up to $50,000, to the Starr Children’s Fund.
Earlier today, Cousins Subs and
the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation kicked off the campaign with a surprise
delivery to the Oncology department at Children’s Wisconsin. The organizations
donated subs to feed nearly 150 doctors, nurses and staff members to kick off
Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders Awareness Month and thank them for their
hard work and dedication.
“At Cousins Subs we take pride in
the communities we call home and are honored to give back to our local heroes
to kick off this impactful campaign,” said Justin McCoy, VLCF committee chair
and vice president of marketing at Cousins Subs. “We’re excited that the Catering
for a Cure initiative offers our guests an opportunity to show their
support for such an important cause.”
Cousins
Subs is a long-time supporter of the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation with more
than $300,000 in donations since 2015 to benefit cancer research and
compassionate care in local communities across Wisconsin .
The
Starr Children’s Fund focuses solely on raising funds to support pediatric
cancer care and research, which are drastically underfunded compared to other
types of cancer. Only 4% of the billions of dollars spent annually on cancer
care and research benefit pediatric cancer.
The
Starr Children’s Fund will use the funds donated through Catering for a Cure
to support their innovative research and implementation of immunotherapy
treatment for better outcomes in childhood cancer.
Guests
can place their Party Box order online, through the mobile app, over the phone
or in person at a Cousins Subs location.
