Wendy's kicks off annual Halloween Coupon Program
October 20, 2008
DUBLIN, Ohio — Wendy's is once again offering its Halloween Coupon Program as a fundraiser for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Consumers may for purchase $1 coupon booklets, which include a coupon for a free Wendy's Jr. Frosty, through Oct. 31.
Since 1992, the Wendy's has generated millions of dollars to support the Foundation's mission to move children out of foster care into adoptive homes. In 2007 the coupon program raised approximately $1.6 million for foster care adoption throughout the United States and Canada.
Thomas, who founded Wendy's in 1969 and became famous as the chain's spokesman in television commercials, was himself adopted.
Wendy's customers are encouraged to purchase the booklets as an alternative to passing out candy on during trick or treat festivities. The $1 booklets can be purchased at a number of Wendy's restaurant locations nationwide.
The coupons may be redeemed Nov. 1 through Feb. 1, 2009.
