Jacksonville, Fla., May 23, 2017 – QSR Management Group, owner of multiple North Florida Tropical Smoothie Cafés, presented Marathon High, Inc. with checks from their April 25 fundraising night. Nine of QSR Management Group’s Tropical Smoothie Cafés participated in the “Spirit Night” and each café donated 10 percent of their sales between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. to the nonprofit organization.

The multi-café “Spirit Night” raised $688.66 for the organization, which helps to train at-risk teens for half marathons. The participating cafés included the San Marco, Southside Boulevard, Philips Highway and County Road 210 locations, as well as the cafés at River City Marketplace, Orange Park, Oakleaf, World Golf Village and the Yulee café.

The nonprofit has served over 1,200 teenagers and completed six seasons. Their goal is a team at every public high school in Northeast Florida.
