Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers is partner with Kidd’s Kids for the eighth year in a row to help raise money for the charitable program started by radio host Kidd Kraddick. On Tuesday, June 11, more than 150 participating Raising Cane’s restaurants around the country will donate 15 percent of the day’s net proceeds to Kidd’s Kids, the company said in a news release. More than 2,000 Kidd’s Kids family members from current and former trips can eat free at any of the participating Raising Cane’s restaurants.

“We are all proud to support Kidd’s Kids and their incredible work with these brave children and their families,” Todd Graves, Raising Cane’s founder and CEO said in its news release. “Over the last seven years, we have raised more than half a million dollars for Kidd’s Kids. And, thanks to the amazing support of local Caniacs nationwide, I have no doubt that we will add significantly to that total today. My Crew and I are huge fans of The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show and we are honored to help them continue Kidd’s extraordinary legacy with his daughter Caroline.”

Kidd’s Kids was founded in 1991 and was developed on the premise of making a difference in the lives of children with life-altering and life-threatening conditions. During the five-day trip, which is scheduled for Nov. 21-25 this year, Kidd’s Kids and their families travel to Walt Disney.
