Ruby’s Diner Partners with Children’s Miracle Network to Benefit Local Children’s Hospitals

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ruby’s
Diner locations across Southern California and Hawaii are teaming up
with CMN Children’s Hospitals in the name of charity to benefit their
local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals including Children’s Hospital
of Orange County (CHOC
Children’s), Children’s
Hospital Los Angeles, Rady
Children’s Hospital in San Diego and Kapiolani Medical Center for
Women and Children in Hawaii. Beginning Sept. 1 through Oct. 10, Ruby’s
Diner locations will be accepting donations to support the CMN
children’s hospitals in their county with 100% of the money raised at
each location going to the local CMN hospital.

In honor of this partnership, Ruby’s is introducing the Muddy Gummy
Goody Shake, a limited-time only kid-inspired treat. The Muddy Gummy
Goody Shake features a scrumptious blend of vanilla ice cream, Hershey’s
chocolate syrup, Oreo cookie crumbles, then garnished with a whipped
cream, more Oreo cookie crumbles and colorful gummy worms.

“The Muddy Gummy Goody shake was created to represent the creativity and
fun kids have when they play with their food. Ruby’s wants the shake to
be the symbol for child appreciation during this fundraising effort for
the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals,” said Doug Cavanaugh, founder
and CEO of Ruby’s Diner.

For 30 years, Ruby’s Diners have taken pride in being an active part of
the communities they serve. Ruby’s “Fun” Raiser programs contribute to
local schools, churches, sports teams and other community groups are an
important part of the company’s family-driven operations.

Guests who contribute to the Children’s
Miracle Network Hospitals fundraiser will be recognized with special
Miracle Balloon icons that feature their name. These icons will be used
to create decorative murals for the windows and a wall at each Ruby’s to
showcase the community spirit of each location.
