November 6, 2014

Hardee's restaurants across Virginia, and owned by Boddie-Noell Enterprises, recently raised more than $70,000 for Special Olympics Virginia.

For its "When You Give, We All Win" annual fundraiser, customers could purchase stars for $1 or $5 in exchange for a sheet of menu coupons. The in-restaurant fundraiser raised $70,410 which will help send more than 460 athletes to the 2015 Special Olympics Virginia Summer Games.

Boddie-Noell Enterprises, Hardee's largest US franchisee, has been partners with Special Olympics Virginia for 34 years, contributing more than $1 million to the organization over that time, according to a news release.

In addition to the 2014 fall fundraiser, Boddie-Noell will sponsor the 2015 Polar Plunge Winter Festival in Virginia Beach on Feb. 6-7 and the Summer Games in Richmond on June 12-13.
