We’re honored to celebrate Oli Fasone-Lancaster who was surprised on October 17 at the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Doernbecher Freestyle auction in Portland with custom Nike Air Force 1s inspired by his love of Chipotle—complete with burrito bowl packaging and a Chipotle VIP card. His go-to order is featured on a tag inside the shoes, alongside other personalized design elements. Oli’s story is one of resilience. He was diagnosed with cancer when he was in kindergarten, which required long hospital stays and five rounds of chemotherapy. When the cancer came back in 2024, Oli underwent a bone marrow transplant to help him grow more healthy blood cells and overcome his cancer relapse. He now celebrates a second birthday in August in recognition of the day he was given this life-saving procedure. Oli’s cancer treatment was a lengthy process that left him feeling overwhelmed, so like the true foodie that he is, Oli decided to replace the complex names of his medications with the names of his favorite foods and even made posters to help his nurses keep track of it all. It became tradition for Oli to celebrate the end of a treatment with his favorite meal from Chipotle. Earlier this year, Oli was selected for Doernbecher Freestyle, a partnership between Nike and OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital that gives six patients the opportunity to design Nike footwear that are sold at retail to benefit the hospital as a signature fundraiser. See more info on Oli’s shoe in the Doernbecher Freestyle 21 collection here: https://lnkd.in/gRyQA4Ke. From November 17 through December 2, 2025, guests using the Chipotle app and Chipotle.com can round up their order total to the next highest dollar amount to support the life-saving services of OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. In addition, we’ve made a donation to the hospital to help cover care for patients in need, support specialized treatments unavailable elsewhere in the region and advance pioneering research that benefits kids worldwide.

👋 Meet Krista McMullen, Senior Manager, Menu & OPS Integration! Krista works on the OPS Services team at the Newport Beach Restaurant Support Center (RSC), supporting core menu development and the launch of all new menu items. 📊 Krista partners cross-functionally with Marketing, Food Safety, Culinary, Supply Chain, Sustainability and Communications to ensure each launch is seamless, scalable and aligned with Chipotle’s mission and values—bringing our real food to guests with consistency and care. 🌯 Krista first joined Chipotle at 18 as a crew member after being a regular guest in our restaurants. Nearly 14 years later, she’s contributed in Operations, Field Training, on the NRO team and now at the RSC, helping take ideas from concept to restaurant. 🥇 What is Krista most proud of? “Chipotle Honey Chicken is one of my favorite projects. Helping it go from a concept to a successful national launch was a special experience.” ✍ Guiding philosophy: “Success is measured with the impact you make on others. When you make the people around you better, your opportunities are limitless.” She appreciates how Chipotle creates the space for team members to be themselves and grow to reach their goals. 🌯🥑🌶️ Krista’s go-to-Chipotle order: A Carne Asada bowl with white rice, black beans, roasted chili-corn salsa, sour cream, cheese, guac and lettuce. Thank you, Krista, for all that you do! 

In honor of Veterans Day, we’re proud to recognize team members who have served or continue to serve.

Senior Manager, Health & Food Safety Jonah Baskin is currently serving in the U.S. Coast Guard and has been a member for 18 years. He views service as a way to show love and appreciation for his country. IT Service Center Manager David Lowe served in the U.S. Navy as a Nuclear Machinist’s Mate, operating and maintaining nuclear power and propulsion systems on submarines. A strong sense of duty drew him to service, and his Navy experience sparked a passion for technology that guides his career path today.
