Good Times Raises over $35,000 for Juvenile Diabetes Research

GOLDEN, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Good Times Restaurants Inc. (NASDAQ:GTIM) today announced that they have just completed a fund-raising effort to raise both money and awareness for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). JDRF is the leading charitable funder and advocate of Type 1 diabetes research worldwide. Since 1970, JDRF has awarded more than 1 billion dollars to fund diabetes research. In Colorado alone, JDRF annually funds more than 1 million dollars in research.

In support of JDRF, Good Times, in partnership with Pepsi Cola and Dr Pepper, created and sold a coupon book containing multiple offers on food and drink at Good Times. In all, over $35,000 was raised in an effort to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. “This is our second year of this campaign where the coupon books sold for $1 each and provided 300,000 coupons for our generous (and hungry) customers to enjoy great deals on our delicious burgers and frozen custard,” said Alex Sterling, Director of Marketing for the Colorado-based chain of restaurants. “Good Times is honored to assist JDRF in finding a cure for Type 1 diabetes ‘one bite at a time.’ In our second year of selling the coupon books we are extremely pleased with the success and the monies raised for JDRF.”

This was the 6^th year that Good Times has been a sponsor and fund-raiser for JDRF.
