Executives at Skokie, Ill.-based Jollibee, a Filipino restaurant, debuted plans to partner with the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The restaurant provided the hospital with a $25,000 donation ─ a gift for enthusiastically welcoming the restaurant to the community, according to the article. The franchise will also establish "Jollibee Days" to provide food for children and their families on a regular basis. The exact dates have yet to be disclosed.
Comer Children's officials said the donation will go toward the hospital's child life and family education unit, which aims to provide families with the best experience possible while visiting their loved ones.
Hospital staff, Jollibee executives, children being treated at Comer Children's and the franchise's mascot attended the official launch of the partnership last week, according to the article.
