At Amini\u2019s, it\u2019s no mystery that we create five-star experiences for our customers; it\u2019s what we\u2019re famous for. But at the end of the day, our successes are measured by more than good sales and satisfied customers. To us, the Amini Advantage isn\u2019t an advantage at all unless it\u2019s maintained off the clock. <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re so grateful to follow the charge of our superstar CFO, Rajeanna Amini, in her everyday generosity toward her community. Mrs. A, as we like to call her, puts the \u201cadvantage\u201d in Amini Advantage like no other.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having direct oversight over Amini\u2019s Oklahoma locations, Mrs. A has developed quite a passion for the Oklahoma school systems and their needy children. In 2013 she began to represent her church in Key Elementary\u2019s Lunch Buddies program, a volunteer opportunity in which adults are assigned students to sit with during lunch period. After two years, she was invited to join the steering committee for Partners in Education. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today, Mrs. A is the program leader and has plenty of heartwarming stories to tell. For her, Lunch Buddies goes beyond providing children with friendly conversation; it\u2019s about inspiring and equipping the kids to catch up, keep up, and feel ongoing support. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since the program\u2019s start, participating students have shown significant signs of improvement in grades and overall behavior. Some who struggled with defiance and distrust now strive to do well and connect. Mrs. A credits these successes to the consistency and commitment expressed through the Lunch Buddies program each week. <\/span><\/p>\n

Like several of her \u201clittle buddies,\u201d Mrs. A\u2019s life has been transformed through Amini\u2019s partnership with Tulsa schools. \u201cI used to be the shyest person in the world. If you only knew,\u201d says Mrs. A, \u201cbut my faith and prayer life built me up step by step. I realized kids are kids and they want [people] to see them and care.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

A great woman with a great cause. That\u2019s<\/em> our Mrs. A…and her influence doesn\u2019t stop there. <\/span><\/p>\n

In recent years, she has spearheaded countless efforts for the kids of Tulsa. She\u2019s donated toward spirit wear, school supplies, and educational activities, and she\u2019s even written a manual on \u201cLunch Buddies\u201d protocol. \u00a0If that weren\u2019t enough, Amini\u2019s partnered with a Dallas vendor to donate 4600 imported rug samples to Tulsa public school classrooms. She also partners with Tulsa Pop Kids, a local educational effort that inspires reading through comic books. The inspiration goes on and on. <\/span><\/p>\n

After all she\u2019s done for her community, it\u2019s no wonder that Mrs. A was presented the 2018 Chittom Challenge Award by the Partners in Education. Mrs. A, thank you for all you\u2019ve done for your community, and thank you for championing the meaning of the phrase, <\/span>Amini Advantage. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
