Sport Clips Launches ‘Help A Hero’
Campaign Benefitting VFW Program
More than 950 Sport Clips
Haircuts locations launched the company’s annual “Help A Hero” fundraising
campaign to support the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ (VFW) Operation Uplink™
in their communities across the country.
Sport Clips’ goal is to raise
$500,000 in its sixth year of donating to Operation Uplink, a program that
offers free call days to deployed and hospitalized American service members.
Donations to “Help A Hero” will
be collected in-store and through local fundraising events. A key part of the
effort will be “The Biggest Haircut Day of the Year” on Veterans Day, Sunday,
Nov. 11, when the company will donate a dollar from every haircut service to
the program.

Burger King Franchises Hold Fundraiser for
VFW’s Unmet Needs Program
For the sixth consecutive year,
the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Foundation has joined together with
participating Burger King® Franchisee Owned Restaurants across the United
States to raise funds throughout the month of November for the VFW Unmet Needs
program.
Burger King® customers are
encouraged to give $1 or more toward Unmet Needs when they purchase their food.
Since 2007, over 1,200 Burger
King® Franchisee Owned Restaurants have demonstrated their incredible concern
for U.S. troops and their families by donating over $1.7 million in support of
the program.
Begun in 2004, Unmet Needs has
provided approximately $4.4 million dollars in financial assistance to over
3,000 deserving military families. Need must be related to financial hardships
not civil, personal, legal or domestic situations. The program assists with
basic life necessities such as rent, mortgage, utilities, vehicle repair,
medical expenses or food/basic assistance. Funds are available to all five
branches of the military, as well as members of the National Guard and
Reserves. Assistance is awarded in the form of a grant, not a loan, so
recipients aren't required to repay.

Burger King® Restaurants.
