Participating Buffalo Wild Wings® locations are showing their support of the troops by partnering with the VFW Foundation to support the Return the Favor™ campaign. Participating restaurants will donate 10 percent of guest’s food purchase when the guest shows their military ID card, VFW membership card or Return the Favor card. The program will run from May 16 through June 12.
“Buffalo Wild Wings happily serves as a gathering place for local military personnel and this is our way for thanking each of them for their service to our country. We are proud to support the men and women who serve our country every day,” commented Jeffrey Miller, Director of Field Marketing and Brand Compliance.
John Lowe, Director of the VFW Foundation stated, “It is through the commitment of companies such as Buffalo Wild Wings that we are able to support America’s heroes on a daily basis. We thank Buffalo Wild Wings for their commitment to our service members, veterans and their families.”
