A&W marking Root Beer Float Day with Wounded Warriors fundraiser

July 3, 2013

A&W Restaurants Inc. will celebrate Aug. 6 as National Root Beer Float Day by giving away root beer floats. Patrons will also be encouraged to make a donation to the nonprofit organization Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), which supports programs and services for injured soldiers and their families.

"Our founder Roy Allen began making Root Beer nearly a century ago to help welcome home returning soldiers from World War I, so it is fitting that A&W continue this heritage of honoring our service members on National Root Beer Float Day," said Kevin Bazner, CEO of A&W Restaurants.

Customers who visit an A&W restaurant Aug. 6 between 2 p.m. and closing time will receive one small root beer float for free. WWP donations can be made in-store or online at awrestaurants.com/woundedwarrior.
