Benihana Donates over $70,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Miami Gardens, FL – In a heartwarming display of community support, Benihana, the popular Japanese steakhouse and sushi restaurant, recently announced a significant donation of over $70,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The contribution, which stems from the restaurant's ongoing commitment to charitable causes, will directly aid St. Jude's mission to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.

While Benihana operates locations across the country, this donation reflects a broader corporate initiative that benefits organizations like St. Jude, which serves families nationwide, including those from our own Miami Gardens community near landmarks like Hard Rock Stadium. The funds raised will help ensure that no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, allowing them to focus solely on their child's recovery.

The generosity shown by Benihana underscores the impact that local businesses, even those with a national presence, can have on vital non-profit organizations. Residents often frequent establishments like Benihana for special occasions and everyday dining in the diverse neighborhoods of Miami Gardens, and knowing that a portion of their patronage contributes to such a noble cause can be a source of pride for the community.

This substantial donation highlights the power of corporate philanthropy in supporting critical healthcare initiatives for children. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital continues to be a beacon of hope for countless families, and contributions like Benihana's are essential to their life-saving work.
