The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Foundation is proud to announce the
second year of a partnership with Bob Evans Restaurants. From November 11
through December 11, Bob Evans will donate 20 cents for each slice and 60
cents for each whole Pumpkin and Pumpkin Supreme Pie sold through dine-in and
carry-out. Proceeds from the promotion (up to $25,000) will be designated
toward urgently needed VFW programs that directly assist U.S. military service
personnel and their families.
“We are extremely
excited to be renewing our relationship with such a well-respected company,”
said VFW Foundation Director John Lowe. “We cannot say enough about how much we
appreciate the support of Bob Evans and their wonderful, patriotic customers
who believe as we do in ensuring that troops and their families will never be forgotten
in their time of great emotional, physical or financial need.”
“Bob Evans is all about
bringing families together over a meal,” said Bob Evans Restaurants President
and Chief Concept Officer Randy Hicks. “We’re proud to give back to military
families and their loved ones. These individuals have personally sacrificed so
much for us all.”
