Last week marked the beginning of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s inaugural Stars for Troops fundraising campaign. We congratulate them on aiming to raise funds to assist our nation’s military families and veterans. Through a similar method as their highly successful Pink Star Fundraiser to benefit breast cancer screenings and research, funds raised from the sale of $1 commemorative paper “Stars for Troops” will support military charities Homes for Our Troops and USA Cares. Funds will go toward projects such as building homes and providing financial and advocacy services. Synq is proud to contribute to CKE Restaurants’ efforts through the donation of paper stars. For more information and details about participation, please click here. To see a video about the campaign, please click here to visit Hardee’s YouTube channel.
