In a new Salad and Go fundraising campaign the better-for-you restaurant announced its partnership with the American Diabetes Association. Throughout the month of May, all customers that attend Salad and Go restaurant locations will be given the opportunity to donate a small amount of money. At the end of the month, Salad and Go will match 10% of the total amount donated by its customers, plus an additional $5,000 USD regardless of the total.
Salad and Go and the American Diabetes Association noted that donations in Arizona will go to AZDA, while donations in Texas will go toward Camp New Horizons. Both the AZDA and Camp New Horizons work to provide opportunities for children to get out and get active through events such as summer camps and after-school activities.
