Goose Creek Bojangles’ to donate portion of sales to family of firefighter killed in crash

To benefit the family of a Summerville firefighter and mother of two who died in a car crash late last month, a fast-food chain is donating a portion of their sales.

Bojangles’ posted to its Twitter account on Wednesday that it plans to give 10 percent of all sales occurring between 5:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Jan. 4 to the family of Katie Dube.

The 23-year-old died from injuries sustained in a crash with a cement truck and a third vehicle Nov. 28 on Jedburg Road in Berkeley County. 

For just over a year-and-a-half Dube worked for Ashley Ridge Fire Department in North Charleston, according to Chief Scott Inabinet. She also volunteered for Cross Fire Department. 

Dube leaves behind a fiance and two daughters, 2 and 4. The children were also involved in the crash and taken to an area hospital for treatment but are OK.

According to the tweet, the following Bojangles’ locations are set to participate in the donation initiative:

• 644 Highway 17, Mount Pleasant
• 740 Folly Road, Charleston
• 121 Main Road, Johns Island
• 2508 Ashley Phosphate Road, Charleston
• 431 A 1/2 St James Ave, Goose Creek

Earlier this month a Summerville area Farm Bureau Insurance Agency, managed by Tim Cardwell, also donated $2,000 to Dube’s family, according to a press release. Cardwell presented the check to her mother.

The money is part of a holiday community outreach program called Farm Bureau Cares, the release said. Each December Farm Bureau offices throughout the state choose a family or charity to sponsor.
