Pete's Restaurants Joining Keaton Raphael Memorial To Raise Money For Childhood Cancer

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and for the entire month Pete’s Restaurants has joined with Keaton Raphael Memorial (KRM) to help fight back and extend awareness through the Sacramento region.

All proceeds have benefited KRM and local children battling cancer along with their families. Donation cards are available in every check presenter for $1, $5, or open amount donation options through the end of September; ask server or management for details.

The campaign kicked off September first with all nine Pete’s Restaurant locations participating; Auburn, Elk Grove, Lincoln, Roseville, El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Granite Bay, Midtown Sacramento and Natomas.

All locations have been accepting donations during September to go towards local organization, Keaton Raphael Memorial, where they are devoted to helping kids with cancer and their families through financial, educational and emotional support, while building awareness and fund for a cure.

The Keaton Raphael Memorial was established in 1998 following the death of 5-year old Keaton after his courageous nine-month battle with neuroblastoma. Since then, the charity has raised more than $1 million for UC Davis pediatric cancer research and helped over 1200 families through their child’s battle against cancer.

 “We are very proud of the positive difference that our hard-working volunteers and generous donors have made over the years to impact the lives of so many,” said KRM Executive Director, Teresa Hofhenke. “And yet each child facing and fighting cancer reminds us why we must continue these efforts with ever-increasing resolve.”

This Monday, September 30th, join the Keaton Raphael Memorial at the Granite Bay location of Pete's Restaurant & Brewhouse for a wrap-up celebration!
