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.”
