August 2009: Baja Fresh Gives Fresh Hope to Children with Progeria with collection boxes in stores nationwide!

We are thrilled to announce a new corporate partnership with Baja Fresh! This month the popular chain of Mexican-inspired food restaurants kicks off a one-year fundraising and awareness campaign for PRF, collecting donations from customers at 85 stores nationwide, through coin boxes placed near the cash registers.

“The Progeria Research Foundation is a cause we’re proud to support,” said Baja Fresh owner David Kim. Mr. Kim met PRF’s board chairman Scott Berns in April at the Milken conference (see page 8) and, after Scott’s stirring presentation, said, “You really moved me, and I want to help.”
Such spontaneous generosity!
