GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Feb. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Robin team members from around the country combined their powers in a big way to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital! The casual dining restaurant chain designed 300 super hero-themed capes with inspirational messages to help patients feel invincible as they endure treatment to conquer childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. 

"Corporate social responsibility is at the core of Red Robin's business strategy and we've always believed in giving back to the communities that we serve," said Jonathan Muhtar, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Red Robin. "Our team took great pride in working together to provide the children at St. Jude with an uplifting chance to step away from their rigorous treatment schedules and enjoy the simple pleasures of being a kid."

The capes were hand-crafted by Red Robin team members at the company's annual leadership conference in Las Vegas and sent directly to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's headquarters in Memphis, Tenn. Red Robin is also rewarding these super heroes with an extra special treat. From now through the end of the year, any St. Jude patient who wears their cape to a Red Robin restaurant can enjoy a free kid's Bottomless Root Beer Float during their visit.
