💛 Supporting Cal's Angels | Karas Restaurant Group 💛

At Rookies, we believe being part of our community means more than serving great food, it means coming together to support the people and causes that make a difference.

We are proud to support Cal’s Angels, a local 501(c)(3) pediatric cancer foundation founded in memory of Cal Sutter, a South Elgin Little League All-Star who was diagnosed with leukemia at just 12 years old. Cal’s incredible courage and concern for other children fighting cancer inspired a mission that continues to help families today.

Cal’s Angels works to grant wishes, raise awareness and fund research for children battling cancer. Their programs bring comfort, financial support, and unforgettable moments of joy to children and their families during an incredibly difficult time. To date, the organization has raised more than $35 million and granted thousands of wishes.

We invite our Karas family, friends, guests and community to join us in supporting this incredible organization. Every donation, big or small, can help bring hope to a child and their family when they need it most. https://calsangels.networkforgood.com/projects/66222-calsangels

💛 Together, we can make a difference.
🎗️ Donate. Share. Support

Let's talk about the new Rookies location.

09/11/2026

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001, and the lives forever changed that day. We honor the innocent lives lost, the brave first responders who answered the call, the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, and the countless families and communities who carried their strength forward.

May we never forget the courage, compassion, and unity that brought us together during one of our nation’s darkest moments.

We remember. We honor. We will always remember. 🇺🇸
