QSR magazine has consistently reported on the charitable works and deeds of members of the foodservice community for the last 10 years. Today, QSR announced a new addition to their award-winning website that is taking these efforts a step further by consolidating stories of charitable works and social responsibility in one place.
Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's International, told readers in the very first issue of QSR magazine in September of 1997, that 'profit was not a dirty word.' But Thomas also worked tirelessly for the many charitable causes that touched his life. His story and others like it inspired the QSR magazine staff to create a new section on www.qsrmagazine.com that highlights the charitable acts of the foodservice community.
Among the causes that QSR magazine supports is CureSearch Children's Oncology Group, a network of more than 5,000 physicians, nurses, and scientists whose collaboration, research and care have turned childhood cancer from a virtually incurable disease to one with nearly an 80 percent cure rate.
QSR's new Charitable Giving page is meant to inspire and motivate foodservice executives, restaurant owners, corporate franchises, and all those affiliated with the restaurant industry to get involved in their community, So they are asking you to tell them, 'What's your cause?'
