Kids Cook-Off.

"On behalf of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, I would
like to thank Red Robin for their generous support of our mission," said
Robbie Callaway, NCMEC co-founder and past Chairman of the Board. "It is
important that we empower families to make safer decisions for their children,
and communication and education are vital tools in that effort. With Red
Robin's support, we are able to reach many more families across the country
through our child safety initiatives."
