Giving by Hardee’s Customers for Military Families at Fort Bragg
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (Jan. 19, 2011) – Hardee’s® restaurants in North Carolina and several other surrounding states have raised nearly $95,000 for the Patriot Foundation to support children of military families and provide college scholarships to children of fallen Fort Bragg, N.C. soldiers.
The funds were raised during a six-week period ending on Veterans Day (Nov. 11) in which Hardee’s guests who made a donation received a coupon booklet good for free and discounted menu items. All proceeds from the coupon booklet went to the Patriot Foundation.
In North Carolina, more than 180 Hardee’s restaurants participated in the promotion, contributing more than $40,000 to the total for the Patriot Foundation.
“We have a special place in our heart here in North Carolina for the military at Fort Bragg and Fayetteville, and I’m proud to see our Hardee’s customers support the families of these soldiers who’ve sacrificed so much,” said Bill Boddie, president and chief executive officer of North Carolina-based Boddie-Noell Enterprises, the largest Hardee’s franchise operator both in the state and in the U.S. Boddie-Noell opened its first Hardee’s location more than 48 years ago in Fayetteville.
The Patriot Foundation provides educational scholarships that support children of 82nd Airborne
soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, killed and wounded soldiers of the 18th Airborne Corps,
wounded soldiers of the Ft. Bragg Warrior Transition Battalion, as well as children of current, retired and former Army Special Operations soldiers. The Foundation has funded scholarships for more than 450 children of these soldiers since 2003.
“The Patriot Foundation is very grateful for the role that Hardee’s restaurants play in helping us to support the families of soldiers at Ft. Bragg,” said Chuck Deleot, chairman of the Patriot Foundation. “This collaboration is as successful as any we’ve had in our campaign to assist the magnificent men and women who are serving and dying to protect our freedoms.”

Bailey's Fine Jewelry's Joyce Satterfield Wins Herend Design Contest
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Jan. 14, 2011) – Joyce Satterfield, a sales associate at Bailey’s Fine Jewelry in Greenville, has won the prestigious Kingdom Classic design competition sponsored by porcelain manufacturer Herend® with a nomination she submitted featuring the peace dove.
Herend, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of porcelain, holds its Kingdom Classic contest annually in search of a design to be turned into a special-edition figurine.
Satterfield submitted her nomination of a peace dove with an olive branch in its beak last February. She found out a few months later that the peace dove had been chosen to be turned into the 2011 Kingdom Classic figurine. To date, it has been created in gold, platinum and rust. It will also be available in rust, blue, black, butterscotch and green at stores this spring.
The Kingdom Classic contest was recently opened to employees of Herend retailers which includes Bailey’s. Satterfield saw the contest as an opportunity to spread peace and joy in trying times.
“I’m extremely pleased with how the figurine turned out,” said Satterfield. “My nomination was inspired by both biblical references and events in our modern life. I just thought that the world needs peace and what better way to show that than a peace dove with an olive branch.”
Satterfield’s peace dove will make its debut at the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market this week. The figurine will be available from all Herend retailers. Herend is currently sold in 375 retail stores in 42 states and on five continents.
Herend is sold at Bailey’s Fine Jewelry locations in Greenville, Rocky Mount and Raleigh’s Cameron Village. The figurine will be permanently retired at the end of the year.
