Cousins Subs go green in dead o' winter

February 1, 2017

Cousins Subs is already prepping for the "wearin' o' the green,' both by launching its St. Patrick’s Day-inspired LTOs and offering lots o' greenbacks to oustanding high school athletes, according to a news release.

In the LTO category, joining the brand's line-up until March 20 are two Irish-inspired subs. The Reuben is stuffed with corned beef, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing on rye, while the Rachel has pastrami, coleslaw and Thousand Island dressing on rye. Both subs feature Wisconsin-made Swiss cheese. 

But Irish-inspired LTOs aren't the only way this QSR is going green this winter. A news release also said that Cousins and its Make It Better Foundation will offer $20,000 in scholarships to Wisconsin high school senior athletes as part of its Wisconsin Sports Awards Scholarship Contest. 

During the entire month of February, high school seniors graduating this year, who have participated in a WIAA-sanctioned sport and excelled in academics and community service, can apply for the scholarship. Four finalists will obtain one of either two $7,500 scholarships or two $2,500 scholarships, during the 2017 Wisconsin Sports Awards event held at Camp Randall Stadium on May 11 in Madison.

The scholarships are funded through the Cousins Subs Make It Better Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to funding causes that address health and wellness, hunger and youth education in the communities that Cousins Subs serves. The foundation has awarded $60,000 in scholarships to 16 high school student-athletes throughout Wisconsin this year to date.
