Photos of Smiley Merchandise and Eat'n Park restaurant exterior with voiceover from Trina DeMarco, Director of Corporate Giving and Community Partnerships:

>>TRINA DEMARCO: Sixty-one years later, we have seventy-three restaurants now across three states. We're a familiar friend; people trust us as a place to come with their family and have a great meal,so we should really support them outside of our restaurants too, and that's a commitment we take really seriously.

>>TRINA DEMARCO: Caring for Kids started as a really simple idea in 1979 with one of our servers. She was really passionate about giving back to the community, and decided to have a fundraiser to raise money for the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation. The next year, she challenged her peers to do the same.
