Many know Raising Cane's for its tasty food and affordable prices. However, the thing you might not realize is Raising Cane's is all about giving back and of course, a love for all animals, especially dogs.
Since the restaurant is named after the founder's dog, it makes sense and that's why it was so awesome to see Raising Cane's giving back to Guiding Eyes for the Blind. If you didn't know, the Guiding Eyes for the Blind helps to provide guide dogs for those who are blind and it's a cause very close to Eli Manning.
Despite being retired from the NFL, Manning is still very active, especially in New York where he played for his entire career. That's why it's so awesome to see the two worlds colliding as Cane's founder, Todd Graves, and Eli Manning are friends, so there was no way I wasn't going to show some love.
We're going to include the full video shared by Eli Manning below, but Cane's donated $100,000 to Guiding Eyes for the Blind. Not only that, but Cane's also gave back with its Plush Puppy Program around the holiday season: "Each of our Restaurants chooses a local pet welfare organization, and all the proceeds of our Plush Puppy Program are donated to that cause." If you missed out, be sure to grab one next year as these are utterly adorable and the perfect gift during the holidays.

The one thing I will say is that Eli Manning did a great job, not only letting people know about Cane's Plush Puppy Program, but he also talked about Guiding Eyes for the Blind and even gave us a "One Love," so what's not to like? After meeting Todd Graves, I can honestly see why he and Eli would be friends as they both seem like great people who have a love for dogs.
If you want to follow Raising Cane's lead, you can donate to Guiding Eyes for the Blind via this link. It is truly amazing to see just how much Cane's gives back and how important community is. It's especially great when dogs are involved as all of us at Dog O'Day love dogs just as much as Cane's does.
No matter where your allegiance lies, there is no denying the good work both Eli Manning and Raising Cane's are putting forth. If anything, it'll make you appreciate your box combo just a little bit more.
