Building Dreams. One Burger at a Time. 🍔🌟Kick off the 2026 Grand Giving Campaign with an afternoon of creativity, teamwork, and delicious fun! Chicago youth from the Union League Boys & Girls Club of Humboldt Park will team up with Mariano’s Tastemakers for a high-energy supermarket sweep and burger-building competition. After creating their dream burgers, teams will present their creations to a panel of judges who will score them on creativity, taste, presentation, and team spirit. More than a competition, this event celebrates mentorship, confidence-building, and empowering Chicago youth to dream big, one burger at a time.

About Grand Giving: Since 2013, the food insecurity awareness campaign and fundraiser of the Curtis Granderson Foundation—Grand Giving—has raised more than $1.5 million to help put food on the table for Chicagoland children and families in need. In partnership with Mariano’s, during the month of November, Grand Giving encourages shoppers to make a donation or round up at the register with proceeds benefitting the Greater Chicago Food Depository and the Northern Illinois Food Bank. The Curtis Granderson Foundation is dedicated to providing Chicago youth with opportunities and access to athletics, education and health and wellness resources so they can learn, grow and thrive and envision a life without limits. 🌟🍔💙
