MIAMI — The Have It Your Way Foundation Inc., the charitable arm of the Burger King brand, has announced the launch of its annual fall fundraiser, the largest in-restaurant promotion hosted by the foundation in support of the Burger King Scholars Program, which provides scholarships to graduating high school seniors in communities across the nation.
For each $1 donation made at participating Burger King restaurants Oct. 1 - Oct. 31, guests will receive a coupon book containing eight value-sized French fry coupons. The net proceeds will be used to fund educational scholarships through the Burger King Scholars Program.
The Burger King Scholars Program provides $1,000 scholarships to high school seniors with a minimum 2.5 GPA, who work part-time, demonstrate financial need and participate in community and/or extracurricular activities. Graduating seniors throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada are eligible for the scholarships and recipients do not have to be employed at a Burger King restaurant. The Burger King Scholars Program has granted more than $11.7 million in scholarships since its inception in 2000.
Scholarship funds come directly from the Have It Your Way Foundation. In addition, company- and franchise-owned Burger King restaurants throughout the country host a variety of fundraising activities, which also help fund scholarships each year.
