*Raising Cane’s continued its holiday tradition by partnering with hip-hop legend Flavor Flav to bring bikes and helmets to children in need.
The duo donated 100 bikes to Communities in Schools of Nevada, a nonprofit focused on supporting at-risk students to stay in school. The event took place at the chain’s new Fremont Street location in Las Vegas on Monday. Flavor Flav spoke to The Blast about the personal significance of the initiative. “The kids and not only that, it’s the love for Christmas and the love for holidays.
