DALLAS, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Pollo Campero is partnering with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® this fall by collecting donations for St. Jude, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food. These contributions will help ensure that families at St. Jude can focus on what truly matters – helping their child live.

From Thursday, November 1 through December 31, contributors can donate at the register at participating Pollo Campero restaurants to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude.

"We are honored to partner with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to help advance their mission. St. Jude works tirelessly day-in and day-out to provide families lifesaving treatment. Our team is inspired by their work," says Luis Javier Rodas, Managing Director/COO, Campero USA Corp. 

Since the brand's beginnings in 1971, its purpose has been to delight friends and families with flavorful chicken meals. "Campero Family" is one of the brand's core values which not only speaks to its offerings, but also to its commitment to the people and communities it serves. To date, Pollo Campero has raised $28M globally supporting St. Jude partners in the fight against childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases in Guatemala & El Salvador.

As Pollo Campero continues to expand its United States presence, the flavorful chicken chain looks to do so with partners who hold the same core values.  St. Jude freely shares its research, which allows for doctors and scientists worldwide to use that knowledge to save children everywhere.  Pollo Campero is proud to call St. Jude Children's Research Hospital part of the Campero Family, and looks to continue joint efforts to make a difference in lives both in the United States and around the world.
