I’m always up for finding new ways to support our local schools. Living in a small town, we see very quickly where budget cuts impact our schools, and as a mom, I want to do what I can to support the teachers and staff in the school community. It’s important.  I’ll continue to do this long after my kids graduate from school- quite simply because others did so for me when they had no kids in school.  Schools are important, and we need them for our futures.  Last week, I learned about Red Robin’s Burgers for Better Schools Program thanks to our friends at SocialMoms and found a new way to show  your support to schools during the back-to-school season.  We had a really hectic weekend and I was up for a family dinner out, so we decided to head over to our local Red Robin and check out the program.  This post is brought to you by our friends at SocialMoms and Red Robin.

 

Red Robin’s Burgers for Better Schools Program

Support your favorite school when you enjoy a meal out with your family!  Grab a burger- and a beer if you want- and know that you are giving back to a school of your choosing. I am all about pretzel buns lately and had a turkey burger with honey mustard sauce, lettuce, and cheese for my meal… my husband had the Black & Bleu Burger.

 

What does the program actually DO for our schools?

1% of each Red Robin Royalty members check (less tax, tip and gift card) will be donated to the school of your choice.

• Any 501c3 school (K-12) is eligible.  Most are already in the system.
• Members must be registered at the time of transaction

How it works:

• Consumers must be registered Red Robin Royalty members to participate in this program.
• Members and Non-Members can learn about the program at redrobin.com/betterschoolshttp://bit.ly/RRMMBlog
• Upon successful Red Robin Royalty registration, members will see a banner on their dashboard and receive an invitation to sign up to support a school.
• Existing members who have not yet selected a school will see a CTA on their dashboard.
• Upon engagement, members are re-directed to a site where they can view a map of schools in their area or anywhere in the nation.
• After selecting their school, their dashboard changes to show how much they’ve donated, how many others are donating and the total amount raised for their specific school.
