AN INDUSTRY FOCUSED CAUSE & RESTAURANT RESOURCE

Set your company apart as an organization that cares about employees in our industry.   You can raise funds in a variety of ways or make a tax-deductible donation to support CORE’s mission that directly helps food and beverage service employees with children that qualify for a grant.  Or forge a partnership to raise funds and weave in CORE as a benefit and resource for your employees that qualify for a grant and employees across our industry.

Smokey Bones is the first multi-unit organization to forge an integrated partnership with CORE as an industry focused cause and resource for their employees that qualify for a grant. They embed a year-round beverage promotion to raise funds for CORE, which is their best-selling drink of all time.

CORE offers an Additional Assistance & Resources – CoreGives center that every company can access for all employees.  The center offers information, links to assistance programs and an array of resources that may be helpful to an employee.

We invite you to partner with CORE and raise the critical funds needed.

Information Sheet, For Operators

“At Smokey Bones, we firmly believe in giving back to the very community that sustains us. Partnering with CORE: Children of Restaurant Employees was a natural choice as it allows us to support the backbone of our industry – the dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to serve us all. By supporting this industry-focused cause with a year-round promotion, we enable our guests to make a difference – one that tastes as good as it feels! One dollar from every Tito’s Strawberry Lemonade our guests purchase goes to CORE, and it is our best-selling beverage. Plus our employees love getting behind this promotion that they know benefits workers in our industry.

We hope other operators and suppliers alike will join Smokey Bones in supporting CORE, and help us Inspire and Serve Up Hope.”
