Pancheros Donates Over 5,000 Burritos For Iowa-Based University Charity Initiatives

Fresh-Mexican Restaurant Sponsors Four Iowa Universities' Dance Marathon To Benefit Local Children's Hospital

January 29, 2015 // Franchising.com // CORALVILLE, Iowa – Pancheros Mexican Grill (www.pancheros.com), a fast casual Mexican restaurant known for creating mouthwatering burritos, is proud to once again lend a helping hand to local universities by donating food for the annual Dance Marathons supporting the Children's Miracle Network. Pancheros will donate over 5,000 burritos to Grand View University, Iowa State University, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa, to fuel hungry dancers through the night. All collective funds from the event will benefit the University of Iowa Children's Hospital.

Pancheros provides a distinctive fresh-Mexican dining experience with highlights such as their signature fresh-pressed tortillas and flavorful burritos. Each burrito is carefully crafted with a unique spatula known as "Bob the Tool," to create a well-balanced burrito with uniform and consistent bites. Other menu selections include: quesadillas, tacos, burrito bowls and salads, all of which are made with freshly grilled meats and vegetables.

"It is an honor to help local universities in their noble cause in raising funds for the children's hospital," said Rodney Anderson, President of Pancheros Mexican Grill. "We hope our burritos give the students the energy they need to surpass fundraising efforts from the previous years."

"Pancheros is one of UI Dance Marathons most supportive, and longest standing sponsors. We are so incredibly grateful for all that Pancheros has done to continue to make University of Iowa Dance Marathon as successful as possible," said Katharine Marshall, Sponsorship Director of University of Iowa Dance Marathon. "Providing dinner for our 2,000 participants is such a generous contribution, and our big event truly would not be possible without them."

Recently, the University of Iowa Dance Marathon pledged to donate $5 million dollars over a ten-year period to help fund a new building for the hospital.
