White Castle is sponsoring the party for the "year's most Craveable holiday" to virtually bring fans together and raise support for the National Restaurant Association’s Restaurant Employee Relief Fund. Slider Jam is set to be hosted by DJ duo Dude Skywalker and viewers can join the party by tuning into Dude Skywalker's Facebook, YouTube, Instagram or Twitch. Inside the virtual party—which is free and open to all—guests will be able to chat with others and hopefully help to raise money for the restaurant employees who've been impacted by the pandemic.
