ROANOKE, Va. (AP) - The founder of a restaurant chain known for
his religious views is lending a hand to a Virginia group's attempt
to build a Christian school system.

Truett Cathy, the founder and chairman of Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A, will speak at a Wednesday benefit for the Renewanation group in Roanaoke.

Renewation was founded last year to create an affordable school
system to teach children from a Christian perspective. The
Roanoke-based group hopes to raise $3 million by the end of the
year.

Cathy's restaurants are closed on Sundays, and some outlets collect customers' prayer requests.

Renewanation President Melvin Adams says local Chick-fil-A
employees were instrumental in getting Cathy to appear at the
fundraiser.
