Pickleman's Teams Up with Brave Like McKenna Foundation for Kids
Pickleman's Joins Forces with Brave Like McKenna Foundation
This September, Pickleman's Gourmet Café proudly partners with the Brave Like McKenna Foundation to support kids and families facing pediatric cancer. Their collective effort aims to raise awareness and provide assistance to those in need.
Celebrating Bravery and Memory
McKenna Royer, who tragically passed away due to Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG), a rare pediatric brain cancer, at the tender age of 11, left a profound impact on all who knew her. Throughout her treatment, her unwavering spirit inspired her family and community alike, embodying joy and courage in the face of unimaginable challenges.
A Mother's Promise
Janell Royer, McKenna's mother and a dedicated Pickleman's franchisee, witnessed firsthand the struggles that families face when confronted with a pediatric cancer diagnosis. Following her daughter's passing, she committed herself to ensuring that no family would endure this battle alone. This promise blossomed into the Brave Like McKenna Foundation, which seeks to provide hope, resources, and community support to affected families.
Foundation's Mission and Support
The Brave Like McKenna Foundation is dedicated to funding innovative research and offering vital support to families battling pediatric cancer. This support is critical in alleviating the financial burdens of medical expenses and creating joyful experiences amidst the difficult journey.
Ways to Participate at Pickleman's
Throughout the month, guests at Pickleman's can get involved in various ways:
- A donation of $1 allows guests to receive a coloring page, encouraging creativity and engagement in this important cause.
- For a $5 donation, guests will receive a pin to wear proudly, symbolizing their commitment to supporting children in their fight against cancer.
Every dollar raised will go directly to the Brave Like McKenna Foundation. Together, we can transform meals into moments of hope and sandwiches into a source of strength for these brave kids.
Doug Stritzel, Founder and CEO of Pickleman's, remarked, "This isn't just a cause for us, it's family. Through Janell, we've witnessed the incredible power of one child's bravery. Now, it's time for us to act in her honor."
