It’s a Spooky Celebration with Slim Thug! Checkers is celebrating Halloween with long-time friend, Slim Thug, on October 28th by hosting a “Spooktacular” party, bringing back a limited-edition special meal and benefiting a community organization. Kids are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes and take pictures with Slim Thug.

The hometown hero and rapper will have his meal, The Big Slim Meal, available at the Checkers Restaurant located at 17155 Eastex Freeway Service Rd., Houston, Texas for one day only. Proceeds from each meal will benefit local nonprofit, CoolxDad. We encourage the community to come out and enjoy food, Halloween activities, prizes, games and live music, plus a meet & greet with Slim Thug and an opportunity to learn about CoolxDad.

“Halloween is a time for the kids to dress up and have fun. We are doing something safe that families can enjoy and it’s for a great cause,” says Slim Thug.

The partnership with CoolxDad is an effort to raise awareness for its slate of annual holiday programming, “Color Box,” which includes a free holiday portrait session for families and a gift drive that delivers hand-wrapped toys, electronics, clothing and other goodies to kids in Houston. CoolxDad’s longest-running program, Color Box has provided more than 1,600 gifts to more than 500 kids in Houston over three years. This year, the Color Box gift drive will partner with SEARCH Homeless Services. CoolxDad is powered by and geared toward Black and brown families in Houston. A portion of the proceeds from this event will go toward these communities.
