Making a Difference: Smashburger
Ordinarily, eating a 100% certified Angus beef burger topped with a fried egg, applewood smoked bacon, American cheese, grilled onions, haystack onions and special sauce wouldn’t seem like a great way to start out the new year. Las Vegas Smashburger locations, however, took some of the guilt out of those juicy pleasures by teaming up with the local chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
Throughout the month of January, the nationally acclaimed “better burger” restaurant donated $1 from the sale of each Sin City Smashburger and Smashchicken sandwich to JDRF. “We are pleased to partner with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to create awareness about this disease and help generate funds to further the JDRF mission,” said Smashburger Founder Tom Ryan.
JDRF is the worldwide leader for research to cure type one diabetes. Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type one diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.5 billion to diabetes research, including $107 million last year. It is with the help of donors like Smashburger that they are able to contribute so much to the cause. That’s the kind of charity we can sink our teeth into.
