CAVA and Clix have announced a new partnership that will see the Mediterranean fast casual chain and the professional eSports gamer working together on a campaign. The partnership will start off with a curated menu item in the form of the Clix Chicken Shawarma Bowl, which is a digital exclusive and will see 10% of the proceeds up to $10,000 from each one sold donated to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The campaign also features the CAVA Pass Battle Pass Challenge loyalty program that will encourage customers to make purchases to level up and get the chance to win a custom-built gaming PC this fall.
The CAVA and Clix partnership will be running through December 28 with the CAVA Pass Challenge running through November 23, 2025.
