💛 Supporting Cal's Angels | Karas Restaurant Group 💛

At Rookies, we believe being part of our community means more than serving great food, it means coming together to support the people and causes that make a difference.

We are proud to support Cal’s Angels, a local 501(c)(3) pediatric cancer foundation founded in memory of Cal Sutter, a South Elgin Little League All-Star who was diagnosed with leukemia at just 12 years old. Cal’s incredible courage and concern for other children fighting cancer inspired a mission that continues to help families today.

Cal’s Angels works to grant wishes, raise awareness and fund research for children battling cancer. Their programs bring comfort, financial support, and unforgettable moments of joy to children and their families during an incredibly difficult time. To date, the organization has raised more than $35 million and granted thousands of wishes.

We invite our Karas family, friends, guests and community to join us in supporting this incredible organization. Every donation, big or small, can help bring hope to a child and their family when they need it most. https://calsangels.networkforgood.com/projects/66222-calsangels

💛 Together, we can make a difference.
