Bojangles Celebrates America 250 with Special-Edition, Patriotic Big Bo Box Supporting Military Families

$1 from every Big Bo Box sold will support educational scholarships and golf-based programs that enhance the quality of life for service members, veterans and their families 

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This summer, Bojangles is honoring America’s heroes and celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary with its patriotic, limited-edition Big Bo Box. From now through July 26, $1 from every Big Bo Box sold will support Folds of Honor and the Veteran Golfers Association, benefiting military personnel and their families across the U.S. In addition, guests will be able to round up their orders at checkout to further support the cause, making it easier than ever to contribute to the mission.

Through similar campaigns, Bojangles guests and team members have raised more than $1.5 million to support military families and veterans. Building on that momentum, the company hopes to generate another significant contribution through this year's America 250 campaign, benefiting two organizations dedicated to honoring those who have served. Folds of Honor provides scholarships for the spouses and children of American’s fallen or disabled service members and first responders, while the Veteran Golfers Association improves the quality of life for veterans and their families through golf-based programs.

“At Bojangles, serving our communities goes far beyond the restaurant,” said Ken Reynolds, Executive Director of the Bojangles Foundation. “As our nation prepares to celebrate America 250, we're proud to honor the service and sacrifice of veterans and military families through our partnerships with Folds of Honor and the Veteran Golfers Association. This fundraiser gives our guests a meaningful way to join us in supporting education, strengthening communities and recognizing the people who have helped shape our country's story.”

“Partnerships like this have a lasting impact on the families we serve,” said Lt Col Dan Rooney, Founder and CEO of Folds of Honor. “We are deeply grateful to Bojangles and its guests for their generosity and commitment to our mission. Together, we are providing life-changing educational scholarships while honoring those who have sacrificed so much.”

“At the Veteran Golfers Association, we see every day how connection and community can positively impact veterans and their families,” said CPT (Ret) Joshua Peyton, CEO of the Veteran Golfers Association. “We’re proud to partner with Bojangles on an initiative that helps create meaningful opportunities for Veterans across the country. Support like this allows us to continue building camaraderie, wellness and lasting relationships through the game of golf.”

While supplies last, fans can order the patriotic Big Bo Box with their favorite Bojangles family meal, including 12 or 20 pieces of hand-breaded chicken, Southern fixin’s, made-from-scratch, buttermilk biscuits and a half-gallon of Legendary Iced Tea®. Family meals are available in-restaurant and drive-thru, through the Bojangles app or via popular delivery services.

The Big Bo Box fundraising campaign will be available at participating locations for a limited time. Guests are encouraged to visit their local Bojangles restaurant, enjoy their favorite menu items and take part in supporting a cause that gives back to those who serve.
