Jack in the Box donates 250K to Big Brothers Big Sisters

January 18, 2012

Jack in the Box restaurants has donated $250,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters for its military mentoring programs.

Funds for the donation were raised during a holiday promotion at Jack in the Box restaurants, where the chain sold a limited-edition elf ornament for $1.

With this donation, Jack in the Box fulfills a $1 million pledge it made in 2010 to support military mentoring programs.

"Fulfilling our pledge to help Big Brothers Big Sisters provide mentors and ongoing assistance for children from military families has been a collaborative effort including our employees, guests, vendors and, most importantly, our franchisees who supported this promotion on a system-wide basis," said Brian Luscomb, president of The Jack in the Box Foundation, which coordinated the promotion.

This is the fourth year the company has raised money for Big Brothers Big Sisters through the sale of limited-edition antenna balls or ornaments. In total, the promotions have raised more than $1.2 million for the organization.
