A&W promos signature floats for Wounded Warriors fundraiser

July 1, 2014

A&W Restaurants will celebrate National Root Beer Float Day, Aug. 6, by giving away root beer floats in support of the Wounded Warrior Project. This is the brand’s second year for the fundraiser, and guests are encouraged to make a donation to WWP in exchange for the free floats.

According to a news release, the WWP supports programs and services for injured military veterans and their families. During last year’s fundraiser, A&W Restaurants donated more than $100,000.

"Our founder, Roy Allen, began making root beer to welcome home returning soldiers from World War One. Our commitment to our returning servicemen and women remains high, and I look forward to presenting an even larger donation this year to the Wounded Warrior Project after celebrating the tastiest and most refreshing day of the summer," CEO Kevin Bazner said in the release.
