Taco Cabana raises $63K+ for military families

November 16, 2011

Taco Cabana has presented a $63,596 donation to the Warrior and Family Support Center (WFSC), a national rehabilitation center located in San Antonio.

The donation will help the center assist recovering military members and their families to take trips during the holiday season, as well as help fund holiday gifts.

The money was raised through a fundraising effort at Taco Cabana restaurants during October, where guests received a coupon book worth $5 in exchange for each $1 donation.

"Taco Cabana is thankful to all of our guests who were so generous during October. It's because of them that we're able to show our gratitude with this donation to those who have given so much to our country," said Todd Coerver, Taco Cabana's chief marketing officer. "With 100 percent of this donation going directly to support WFSC families this holiday season, we are grateful to know that as a community we're able to make such a difference."

Support for the WFSC is part of a company-wide community giving initiative Taco Cabana launched in October. All Taco Cabana restaurants, as well as employees at its corporate offices in San Antonio, will participate in programs throughout the year, including offering a 20 percent military discount year-round.

Taco Cabana's next fundraising program is slated for May 2012.
