Hardee's Sets $10,000 Fundraising Goal for Fort Bragg Children Through Patriot Foundation Partnership
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (Oct. 20, 2009) - Local Hardee’s restaurants have partnered with The Patriot Foundation, an organization that raises funds to support children of military families and provides college scholarships to children of Fort Bragg soldiers.
During a four-week, in-store fundraiser beginning today, guests can purchase a $1 Patriot Foundation Card and receive a coupon sheet good for future visits. Hardee’s has set a $10,000 goal for the fundraiser which runs through Veterans Day (Nov. 11) and ends on Nov. 16.
All of the proceeds raised at the 24 participating Fayetteville-area Hardee’s will be donated directly to the Patriot Foundation. The Patriot Foundation provides educational scholarships that support children of 82nd Airborne soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, serving soldiers of the 18th Airborne Corps, as well as children of current, retired, and former Army Special Operations soldiers.
“We are delighted to add Boddie-Noell to our growing list of corporate partners,” said Chuck Deleot, chairman of the Patriot Foundation. “This is the seventh year we have supported the soldiers and families of Ft. Bragg. The money we raise not only makes it possible for a number of children to pursue the dream of a college education, but it is a powerful message to our deployed soldiers that people here support and appreciate them.”
The Patriot Foundation has funded scholarships for more than 250 children since 2003.
“We are really excited to begin this partnership with The Patriot Foundation,” said Jerry Allsbrook, chief marketing officer for Boddie-Noell Enterprises. “Especially in the midst of a recession, it is so important to support our troops and more importantly, their families back home and right here in North Carolina.”

Cafe Carolina and Bakery Completes Fundraiser for Children's Flight of Hope
RALEIGH, N.C. (Oct. 16, 2009) - Café Carolina and Bakery locations throughout the Triangle raised $1,456 for Children’s Flight of Hope during the month of August.
Café Carolina collected $1 donations from customers and each donation was recognized by hanging a paper airplane inside the restaurant with the customer’s name written on it. Children’s Flight of Hope provides free air transportation to critically ill or injured children who are unable to reach medical care otherwise.
This was the first year the two organizations partnered, and Café Carolina hopes to continue to support the valiant effort of the group in the future. Participating locations included Café Carolina and Bakery restaurants in: Cary, Cameron Village, downtown in the Wachovia Building and in Chapel Hill.
"We were very pleased and grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a caring company that truly cares about their community," said Amy J. Carver, executive director of Children's Flight of Hope. "The money raised by Cafe Carolina will fund a flight for an ill child so that they may receive life saving treatment."
Children’s Flight of Hope is based out of Raleigh-Durham International Airport and strives to complete at least 100 missions annually. Since each trip is free to the family, Children’s Flight of Hope relies solely on private contributions.
“We recognized what a noble cause Children’s Flight of Hope is working to support and wanted to be a part of it,” said Pam Spivey, senior brand manager with Café Carolina parent company Boddie-Noell Enterprises. “We could not have completed this fundraiser without the generous support of our customers, and we look forward to working with Children’s Flight of Hope again in the future.”

RICHMOND, Va. (Oct. 7, 2009) – On Oct. 13 Hardee’s® restaurants operated by Boddie-Noell Enterprises across the state will sell Stars for a dollar to raise money for Special Olympic Virginia.
The annual fundraiser, called Buy a Star, Be a Fan, ends on Nov. 9 and is slated to help more than 1,000 Special Olympics athletes participate in the 2010 summer games. Last year, Hardee’s owned and operated by Boddie-Noell raised more than $30,000 for Special Olympics Virginia.
Boddie-Noell Enterprises, the largest Hardee’s franchise operator in the United States, has been partners with the Special Olympics Virginia for 29 years, contributing in excess of $1 million to the organization during this time. Boddie-Noell owns and operates 180 Hardee’s restaurants across Virginia.
“For 29 years Hardee’s has been helping Special Olympics Virginia create more inclusive communities throughout the Commonwealth,” said Rick Jeffrey, president of Special Olympics Virginia. “The Special Star promotion is another example of the Hardee’s commitment to believe in people and help everyone reach their full potential. I hope that everyone will visit Hardee’s this month to buy a star and make sure that as many athletes as possible get to compete at Special Olympics Virginia competitions in 2010.”
Boddie-Noell and Hardee’s also partner in the Special Olympics Virginia Training for Life program, by employing persons with intellectual disabilities, some of whom are Special Olympics athletes, and providing a welcome workplace environment that breeds success.
“We look forward to supporting Special Olympics Virginia each year,” said Jerry Allsbrook, chief marketing officer for Boddie-Noell and a board member of Special Olympics Virginia. “The role this organization fulfills in communities across the state is invaluable. We know this would not be possible without the continuous support of our customers across the Commonwealth. Our goal is to make this year the most successful fundraiser to date.”
