TeamMates Partners with Runza® to Host Fundraiser on September 23rd
TeamMates Mentoring is excited to announce their annual fundraiser in collaboration with
Runza® Restaurants which aims to support TeamMates Chapters throughout the Midwest.
On September 23rd, 2025, participating Runza® locations across the Midwest will donate 10 percent of their sales to local TeamMates Chapters, contributing to the vital work they do in our community. Whether enjoying a classic Runza® sandwich or savoring their famous frings, every purchase made at these locations on this day will directly benefit TeamMates’ efforts to positively impact the world by inspiring students to reach their full potential through mentoring.
“We could not be more thankful for our long-standing partnership with Runza® and the hard work their restaurants pour into this day each year,” said TeamMates CEO DeMoine Adams.
Founded on a legacy of quality and community support, Runza® has been a local favorite since 1949. Known for its commitment to fresh, made-to-order food and dedication to giving back, Runza® continues to be a beloved choice for families and individuals alike.
Mark your calendars for September 23rd and join TeamMates of Crete and Runza® in supporting TeamMates! Every purchase made that day helps create a brighter future for students in our community.
TeamMates of Crete will be at 1715 Hawthorne Ave, Crete, NE.
