Raising Cane’s started its golden birthday celebration last year, when the Baton Rouge-born Chicken Finger brand “toasted” to 28 years of golden, crispy goodness on August 28. To commemorate the milestone, Cane’s unveiled an unprecedented all-gold Restaurant in downtown Boston, which was its 828th Restaurant in the country, and gave away $100,000 worth of golden prizes to 828 lucky Customers across the country – including golden necklaces, golden Vans shoes, real gold bars and more!Todd Graves, owner and founder of Raising Cane’s, infused his passion for animals into the brand he founded in 1996, naming it after his beloved dog. The Plush Puppy initiative is an annual tradition and has raised over $2 million to date for Community dog parks, no-kill rescues and animal shelters across the U.S. This Golden Plush Puppy initiative is part of Cane’s pledge to give back $30 million to local Communities in 2025. Over the past 28 years, the brand has donated more than $140 million to over 30,000 local organizations and nonprofits through its nearly 900 Restaurants.
