Passionate About a Great Cause? Tell Us About It!

Famous Dave's is genuinely dedicated to supporting causes that contribute to the well-being of our community and the environment. For any charitable donation requests please use the online form on this page. We thoughtfully consider donation requests for causes that uplift our community and environment. To give your cause the attention it deserves, please submit your request at least 6 weeks before your event.

Please note: As much as we would like to help everyone who asks, not all of the requests will be granted a donation. We currently receive a great deal of donation requests from all over the Cleveland area. While we consider ourselves a good corporate citizen and are willing to share our good fortune, we need to be selective.
