BK's philanthropic organization kicks off fall fundraiser

October 2, 2013

The McLamore Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Burger King system, has kicked off its annual fall fundraising.

From now through Oct. 31, for every $1 donation made, Burger King restaurant guests will receive a booklet containing three value-size classic French fry or onion ring coupons and three value-size soft-serve cones or cups. Available in participating restaurants nationwide, every 1,000 icons purchased helps fund a scholar.

All proceeds of this in-restaurant fundraiser will benefit high school seniors throughout the country.

Earlier this year, the foundation awarded more than $2.4 million in scholarships to deserving high school graduates in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Funds raised throughout this campaign will be awarded in May 2014.

"Supporting higher education for the next generation through the Burger King Scholars program is a top priority for Burger King Corp." said Jill Granat, president, McLamore Foundation. "We are excited to keep the momentum going this fall as we partner with our restaurants for the next phase of our fundraising efforts."
