Farmer Boys Raises $100K For Loma Linda Children’s Health

RIVERSIDE, CA — Farmer Boys, a Riverside-based restaurant chain known for its burgers and all-day breakfasts, recently wrapped up its 20th annual fundraiser and donated $100,000 to the Inland Empire's Loma Linda University Children’s Health.

Starting in July, Farmer Boys' customers could round up their change to the nearest dollar, with funds going to LLUCH to support the young patients and assist caregivers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, management said.

“For over 20 years, it has been a priority for Farmer Boys to lend a helping hand and better the lives of children in our community,” said Larry Rusinko, Farmer Boys vice president and chief marketing officer. “Despite the challenges brought upon by this unprecedented year, it was important for us to find a way to make a difference and provide support Loma Linda University Children’s Health.”

Last month, Farmer Boys’ President and COO Dave Wetzel, along with others from the business, held a virtual check presentation with LLUCH’s administrative, child life and foundation divisions.

Since launching its annual fundraising efforts in 2000, Farmer Boys has donated more than $1.1 million to LLUCH, company officials said.

Founded in 1981 in Riverside by five brothers, Farmer Boys sells burgers, sandwiches, salads, sides and all-day breakfasts at restaurants in California and Nevada. Check out Farmer Boys' menu here and locales here.

Loma Linda University Children’s Health operates a 343-bed hospital and multiple clinics throughout the Inland Empire, caring for nearly 100,000 young patients every year.
