Over Easy, a popular Arizona restaurant chain, has announced a significant partnership with Phoenix Children's Foundation. The collaboration focuses on supporting the hospital's Child Life program, which aims to create joyful spaces and experiences for young patients undergoing treatment. The partnership includes a $500,000 pledge to the program, as well as ongoing fundraising initiatives like the 'Kids Helping Kids' program and the annual 'Dollars for a Dozen' event.

Why it matters

Corporate partnerships with children's hospitals are becoming increasingly common, as businesses recognize the importance of social responsibility and community engagement. These collaborations can provide vital funding for programs that directly improve the patient experience and support families during challenging times.

The details

The partnership between Over Easy and Phoenix Children's will contribute to the creation of spaces like 'The Zone,' designed to allow children to play, create, and experience normalcy during their hospital stays. The 'Maker's Space' within The Zone has been named 'Rays of Hope.' Over Easy's ongoing 'Kids Helping Kids' program allocates a portion of the proceeds from every kids' menu item sold at all Arizona locations directly to Phoenix Children's. The annual 'Dollars for a Dozen' event, held each April, involves guest donations matched dollar-for-dollar by Over Easy, with further support from Hickman's Family Farms and Shamrock Farms through egg donations to the United Food Bank.
