Wendy’s raises $1.8 million for the Dave Thomas Foundation
Wendy’s announced recently that thanks to the fact that millions of people enjoyed a Wendy's Frosty during Father's Day Weekend more children in foster care will have greater opportunities to find permanent, loving homes. The company has now revealed that $1.8 million was raised in its US and Canadian restaurants for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption on June 20 and 21.
According to the information provided, the company pledged a donation of 50 cents to the Foundation for every Frosty product sold in the U.S. during Father's Day Frosty Weekend. In Canada, $1 was donated for each Frosty sold. In addition, a record number of Frosty pin-ups were sold.
"Through the loyalty of our customers and the generosity and compassion of the Wendy's system, we once again raised a significant amount of money to support foster care adoption. This effort will have a direct impact on children's lives," said Wendy's President David Karam, a Trustee for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. "As Dave Thomas often said, if just one child finds a home from our efforts, it's all worth it."
Wendy's International is, it says, one of the world's most successful restaurant operating and franchising companies with more than 6,600 restaurants worldwide. Wendy's is a member of Wendy's/Arby's Group, Inc. (kbp)
