Community Partnerships + Charities
American Heart Association
At the Shannon Rose, we believe it is our job to not only nourish our customers, but our community, as a whole. One way we've chosen to contribute is by partnering with the American Heart Association, during February's American Heart Month, and as a corporate sponsor for their Bergen Passaic Heart Walk. In February, our contributions are threefold: Donating 10% of the proceeds from our Kids Valentine's Day brunch, giving 100% of the proceeds from our raffle designed to give to the AHA, and by giving $1 of each sale of a specific drink (announced each February). At the heart walk, we assemble a Shannon Rose walking team, set up a table with giveaways, and offer a walk-day heart-healthy menu, in which a portion of the proceeds go back to the American Heart Association.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
Our continued partnership with St. Jude Children's Hospital helps their mission to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases, through research and treatment. We donate 10% of the proceeds from three annual events — kids Saint Patrick's Day Brunch, Brunch with Santa, and an Ugly Sweater Party — as well as the raffles held during this time, to St. Jude's. Additionally, each year we host the Punkin Chunkin Competition: Guests are challenged to test their strength by launching a pumpkin into the "Chunkin Patch." The entry fees go toward St. Jude's, and the furthest throw receives a prize.
Additional Partners
Aside from our annual and regular partnerships, our teams participate in various local community events and volunteer opportunities throughout the year.
