Beverly KFC Donating Portion of Tuesday Sales to 'Live Like John'

KFC will be going “Gray for May” by donating a portion of sales to the John McNicholas Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation throughout the day on Tuesday May 13.

The restaurant is one of several in the Beverly, Mt. Greenwood and Evergreen Park that are raising much needed funds for “Live Like John,” a 15-year-old St. Rita High School who inspired all around him with his grace and humor while dealing with a malignant brain tumor.

John passed away in 2011, but his memory lives on, as well as his choice to live out his with hope, rather than sadness.

Each Monday and Tuesday throughout the month of May, select restaurants will be offering diners the opportunity to “eat and earn” and send some dollars to a neighborhood organization that has raised thousands of dollars for research in the name of one of our own.

Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th Ward) has also been dining in at the neighborhood businesses “Going Gray in May” and raising awareness of pediatric brain cancer on behalf of the John McNicholas Foundation. 

Starting at 1 p.m. today (Tuesday) O’Shea will be working the drive thru at KFC, 10421 S. Western Ave., Chicago. Or, you can choose Opie McNicholas, a golden retriever.

Here’s the rest of the “Go Gray In May” lineup:
