WASHINGTON — With only a few weeks ahead of the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, Raising Cane’s is teaming up with Team USA’s Olympic bobsled and skeleton’s official hype man Flavor Flav.
The company said it’s “uniting sports, pop culture and crave-worthy comfort food” in a press release.
The collaboration will debut a limited-edition plush puppy with some proceeds going directly to the team for their “training and travel, fueling competitive dreams,” the press release said. Along with the plushie, the collaboration will swap their typical cups with USABS-themed ones.
These items will be available between Jan. 14, through the Winter Games, until Feb. 24. The plush is $13.99 plus tax, and $3 of every purchase goes to the team.

The Team USA athletes will also have matching collectable pins with Raising Cane’s employees. These are not for sale.
The plush and Team USA-themed cups will be available at more than 1,000 Raising Cane’s locations across the country.
This is the first time Cane’s partnered with a national governing body, but the company previously worked with athletes like beach volleyball champions Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth; track and field star Tara Davis-Woodhall and Paralympian Hunter Woodhall.
