Lacey Chabert & Raising Cane’s Make Bike Donation in Hollywood

Raise canes just can't stop spreading holiday cheer!

After another successful event in New York City and more across the country, the restaurant's founder, Todd Graves, made his way to Los Angeles to spread the love to the Boys and Girls Club of Hollywood.

Holiday movie icon Lacey Chabert together with the chicken finger giant for a festive bike giveaway benefiting children in the community, turns the new Cane's location on Sunset Boulevard into a full-on holiday celebration. For the second year in a row, Chabert and Graves joined forces to welcome children, hand out bikes and helmets, sip hot chocolate, pose for photos with Santa, and enjoy the joy of the season.

A total of 120 branded children's bikes and helmets were donated during the event, with an additional 380 bikes to be delivered to the Boys & Girls Club before Christmas.

“I'm so happy to be here with Cane's on such a joyous occasion,” Chabert said during the event. “Last year in NYC it was incredible to see the excitement and happiness on all the kids' faces and I'm so happy that Todd asked me to participate in the bike delivery again this year. This season is about being here for each other and spreading joy everywhere, and that's exactly what we're doing here today.

The Hollywood stop is part of a much larger holiday mission for Raising Cane's. Across the country this season, the fast-casual chicken chain is giving away 4,500 bikes in nearly 30 cities, representing a whopping donation of $1.5 million.

Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood CEO Mel Culpepper praised the impact of the event and the lasting memories created for the children.

“On behalf of every child, I want to say thank you to Raising Cane's and Todd,” Culpepper said. “Your generosity and kindness have given these children a memory they will never forget. You have made all the difference in these children's lives. This is what Christmas is all about and we are so grateful!”

Adding even more sparkle to the day, Chabert and Graves were joined by a group of celebrity guests who helped hand out bikes and celebrate with the kids, including Khadijah and Malika Haqq, Sarah Jane Nader, Chris Hahn of Vanderpump Rules, Dixie, Marc and Heidi D'Amelio, and Los Angeles Rams defensive end Murarrech.

The annual bike giveaway was inspired by Graves' own childhood memory of receiving a bike for Christmas — a moment he's never forgotten and now hopes to create for kids whose families might not be able to afford one. What started as a small act of kindness in Baton Rouge has grown into a national holiday tradition.

“I remember getting a bike for Christmas as a kid and it was such a great memory for me and I wanted to share that joy with kids and families that need it the most,” Graves said. “We worked with Lacey last year and she was my top choice to team up with again – she is 'The Queen of Christmas' after all!”

Graves added that giving back has always been central to Cane's mission, noting that the company has donated more than $160 million to local communities over the years.

“This is what the holiday season is all about,” he said. “I hope these kids will always remember this moment and someday be able to pay it forward to another person in need.”
