“The overwhelming support from our customers and associates last year was the catalyst for this year’s campaign, and we were thrilled to welcome the opportunity to show our support again. This year we made it easier to Fuel up to Support the Kids and we added a new featured Crosby’s pizza option, The Buffalo Box, to bolster our fundraising efforts. Oishei Children’s Hospital supports so many of our local communities that we are fortunate to have the opportunity to serve, which makes this campaign all the more meaningful. We are so proud of our associates and customers for coming together, yet again, to support pediatric critical care. We are extremely proud to support the Patricia Allen Fund benefiting Oishei Children’s Hospital,” Vice President and General Manager of Crosby’s, Lenny Smith, stated.
