Bojangles Kicks Off Fourth of July Weekend with Round-Up Campaign Benefitting Two Military Organizations

Customers can show their support all month long by purchasing a Peach Cobbler or rounding up their orders in restaurants or on the app

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a show of patriotism during one of the biggest holidays of the year, Southern chicken and biscuits chain Bojangles is giving its customers the sweet chance to give back to their local heroes all month long through a new round-up campaign. Donations will benefit not one, but two military-focused charities: Folds of Honor Foundation (Folds of Honor) and Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation (Fallen Patriots).

Now through July 25, Bojangles will donate 10% of its Peach Cobbler proceeds to the two non-profits. Customers can also round their tickets up to the nearest dollar at any participating Bojangles and through orders on the app, which Bojangles will donate directly back to both Folds of Honor and Fallen Patriots.

“This campaign gives our customers an opportunity to enjoy something sweet while doing something sweet in return – it's a great way to give back to our heroes who sacrifice so much,” said Ken Reynolds, executive director of The Bojangles Foundation. “We’re proud to partner with two incredible organizations that turn generosity into meaningful support, and we’re grateful to our customers for joining us in this mission.”

Military support is a foundational pillar of the Bojangles Foundation, and the restaurant chain has partnered with both nationally recognized organizations in previous efforts. Folds of Honor is a non-profit organization that provides educational scholarships to families of fallen or disabled military service members and first responders, and Fallen Patriots is on a mission to provide college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty.

“The Bojangles community continues to show unwavering dedication to our mission,” said Lt Col Dan Rooney, founder and CEO of Folds of Honor Foundation. “Because of their commitment, we’re able to provide life-changing educational opportunities that honor the service and sacrifice of our nation’s heroes.”

“We’re proud to once again join forces with Bojangles in support of the children of our fallen heroes,” said David Kim, co-founder and CEO of Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation. “Every Peach Cobbler sold and every rounded-up dollar sends a powerful message to these families: that their loved ones’ sacrifice is not forgotten, and their children’s futures matter to all of us.”
