Throughout October, pinups and wristbands
purchased in-restaurant will support grants for local Clubs to help
kids participate in team sports
Buffalo Wild Wings® today announced the kickoff of their annual
fundraiser to support youth sports programs at Boys & Girls
Clubs across the country. All Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants will
participate in the promotion from October 1-31, 2017. Donations
will go towards ALL STARS grants to help fund sports teams and
facility improvement projects in local Clubs, as part of the
company's Team Up for Kids® mission.
Paper pinups can be purchased for a minimum donation of $1 and
will be posted throughout restaurants. In addition, Buffalo Wild
Wings will also offer a limited edition wristband during the month
of October for a minimum $5 donation.
The donations gathered will help change the game for many kids
and teens, giving them the opportunity to play team sports at their
local Club and learn skills that help them succeed both on and off
the field. Additionally, donations help train coaches and provide
uniforms and equipment to young athletes as part of the Boys &
Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) ALL STARS program.
"We're very pleased that together with our Fans and Franchisees
we've donated and raised more than $10 million, and helped
thousands of kids experience the joy of playing on an ALL STARS
team," said Emily Decker, senior vice-president and general counsel
of Buffalo Wild Wings. "We're excited to partner with our Fans for
another great Team Up for Kids fundraiser that will get us one step
closer to our goal of bringing year-round team sports opportunities
to 500,000 kids and teens by 2020."
In 2016, Buffalo Wild Wings' partnership enabled more than
88,000 kids and teens to participate on teams. The company is
supporting over 365 teams and leagues across the country this fall,
creating sports programs that promote physical fitness, good
sportsmanship, and teamwork. In total, Buffalo Wild Wings has
committed to donating at least $2 million each year to Boys &
Girls Clubs of America through 2020.
"The number of kids and teens who have been able to become part
of a team as part of our ongoing partnership with Buffalo Wild
Wings is fantastic," said Jim Clark, president and CEO, Boys &
Girls Clubs of America. "By supporting our sports programs and
facility improvements, the ALL STARS and Team Up for Kids grants
are helping kids build self-confidence and life-enhancing skills
that will help them succeed on and off the field."
Those unable to dine in-restaurant may purchase a limited
edition Team Up for Kids eGift Card and Buffalo Wild Wings will
donate 10% of the purchase value to Boys & Girls Clubs of
America. Visit the online gift card store at BuffaloWildWings.com
to purchase.
