Mmm…Frosty. Central Texas Wendy’s Show Their Support

Looking for a tasty way to beat the heat in Texas this summer?  Look no further than the the Frosty Key Tag!

Now through July 4, participating Wendy’s Restaurants in Central Texas will provide customers with a way to directly support the Fort Hood troops and the USO by selling Frosty Key Tags for $1.

The Frosty Key Tag allows customers to receive one free Jr. Frosty™ with any purchase through the end of the year at the Killeen, Temple, Copperas Cove, Waco and Marble Falls area Wendy’s restaurants. These 14 locally owned and operated Wendy’s will donate proceeds from each Frosty Key Tag sold directly to the Fort Hood USO.

“The Fort Hood USO relies on the local community to provide support for our troops in any way they can,” said Robin Crouse, director of the Fort Hood USO. “Thanks to the generosity of Central Texas Wendy’s and their customers, the Fort Hood USO can continue to deliver its special brand of comfort, morale and recreational services to the military stationed here.”

“The Fort Hood USO is an incredible organization whose sole mission is to support the troops,” said James Hays, VP and COO of Central Texas Wendy’s. “Wendy’s is proud to contribute to this organization and knows the community will get behind the effort to provide for our troops here locally, while enjoying a delicious Jr. Frosty.”

Central Texas Wendy’s is a proud contributor to the Fort Hood USO and supporter of Fort Hood troops.  Go get your Frosty today!

Have a Military ID? The Kannapolis Intimidators Want You to be Their Guest!

You might know the Kannapolis Intimidators as the single A affiliate in the Chicago White Sox minor league chain.  But they’re more than.  They’re great supporters of the military, and – in partnership with the United States Marines – are offering two free tickets to ANY home game this season for “anyone that shows any form of Military ID, active, retired or a family member ID at the Intimidators Will Call Window.”  Awesome!

The inspiration came from last year’s Military Appreciation night – where the USO of North Carolina set up a booth – and the belief that there was more to be done for the Troops and their families.  The USO of North Carolina continues to be a community partner.

“We are aware of the sacrifices being made, not just by our military personnel, but also their families,” Intimidators General Manager Randy Long said. “We want to provide our military personnel, spouses, family and friends an enjoyable evening by providing free tickets to all of our games. We are honored to have these brave individuals and their families at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium, and thanks to the support of the United States Marines, we can do so for free all season long.”
We are thrilled to announce this offer and hope that other teams around the country will follow the Intimidators’ lead.
There’s nothing else to say but grab your family, friends, and your baseball mitt and head out to an enjoyable night of free baseball!

Lowe’s Expands Support of the Military with Year-Round Discount!

Lowe's LogoLowe’s Companies, Inc. announced this week that it is expanding its support of the military by offering an all day, every day 10 percent discount to all military personnel who are active, reserve, retired or disabled veterans and their family members, with a valid, government-issued military ID card.

All other military veterans will receive the discount on the Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Veterans Day weekends.

Lowe’s was founded on the heels of World War II by veterans Jim Lowe and Carl Buchan and has always been a supporter of the military,” said Larry D. Stone, Lowe’s president and chief operating officer. “The year-round discount program is one way we are reaffirming our commitment to the thousands of men and women who are serving throughout the world, as well as their family members at home.”

The discount is available on in-stock and Special Order purchases up to $5,000. Excluded from the discount are sales via Lowes.com, previous sales, and purchases of services or gift cards.

While Lowe’s has had a military discount program in the past during select times of year, the new policy will allow those who are serving to benefit from the discount whenever they need it the most.

“What a great way to say thank you,” said Sloan Gibson, president and CEO of the USO. “We salute Lowe’s for the company’s commitment to helping military personnel and their families who served and continue to serve our nation.”

The USO was also selected as one of the beneficiaries of the Lowe’s Employee Giving Campaign in January. This initiative allows Lowe’s employees to donate directly from their paychecks to support those who are serving our country.

In addition to offering military discounts at specific times during the year, Lowe’s has extended benefits for its employees serving in the military and offers employment opportunities to military personnel after their military service has ended. Currently, more than 12,000 Lowe’s employees are military veterans or reservists.
