Casual for a Cause Fundraising: The Kroc Center still needs to raise several thousand dollars to meet its Salvation Army World Missions goal by the end of April. Because of this, Lt. Bill has offered a special opportunity for all Kroc Krew members.
Purchase a $15 Casual for a Cause t-shirt at the Welcome Desk, and you may choose to wear it in place of your uniform shirt (other uniform guidelines still apply).
