TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Arby's restaurants in the greater Tucson, Ariz., area is launching its annual fundraising event for No Kid Hungry, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Junior Achievement of Tucson during the month of October.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tucson's goal is to help all children achieve success in life. They work to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally-supported, one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better.

Junior Achievement of Tucson works to empower future generations and give them the tools to succeed. Through its mentorship program, students learn the importance of money management, workforce readiness and entrepreneurial thinking.

"Giving back to the community is an important part of who we are and what we do," said Jami Salyers, partner at Irish Beef, the Tucson franchisee. "We wouldn't be here if it weren't for the great people of Tucson, so it's important that we pay-it-forward."
