LOMA LINDA >> Farmer Boys presented Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) with a check for over $100,000 on Tuesday, Feb. 16, which was raised during their 15th annual “Give a Helping Hand” fundraiser, which has raised $540,657 for LLUCH since 2001. “Farmer Boys has been a true Champion for Children through their continued commitment to our patients,” said LLUCH administrator, Scott Perryman. “We appreciate their ongoing support.” Over the years, Farmer Boys has impacted many areas including the cardiac intensive care unit and the neonatal intensive care unit. They have also been a supporter of the hospital’s annual Children’s Day, which has impacted thousands of the community’s children. The “Give a Helping Hand” fundraiser, held Oct. 12 – Nov 8, 2015, invited guests to make a donation by purchasing a paper “Be a Champion for Children” icon for $1 or more. The Farmer Boys restaurants in Mira Loma, Grove and Rialto were the top three, respectively, highest earning restaurants for the fundraiser. During the presentation, Farmer Boys CEO, Demetris Havadjias, talked about his love for children as his motivation for giving back. “I have great admiration for Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital,” he said. “I hope and wish no parent or child has to experience the hospital, but if they do, this is the place to be. It is the best hospital is the world, and I’m very proud to be a sponsor.”
