Nearly 600 restaurants across the country to

Kids™ initiative
As part of the Buffalo Wild Wings Team Up for Kids™ initiative,
nearly 600 Buffalo Wild Wings® restaurants across the United States
are inviting local Guests to join them for a Community Day on April
9. The restaurants will donate 10 percent of total sales that day
to a local Boys & Girls Club in their community. Guests can
support their local area Boys & Girls Club by dining at a
participating Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant, and may add a personal
donation to their guest check if desired. Participating restaurants
may also host a variety of fun Guest activities to promote
Community Day in the restaurant.
“Community Day is a great way for our Guests to make a positive
impact in their local community by joining us to support young
people in Boys & Girls Clubs across the country,” said Mary
Twinem, executive vice president and chief financial officer at
Buffalo Wild Wings, and the driving force behind Team Up for Kids.
“Through Community Day, we can support a local Club in every
community where we do business, and this local support is a
valuable piece of our partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of
America and our efforts to bring youth sports into the lives of
every child who wants to play.”
Following an initial partnership in 2013 that raised more than
$1.5 million, Buffalo Wild Wings recently announced a three-year
extension of its partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America
(BGCA) to continue an ALL STARS youth sports program across the
country. The restaurant has committed a minimum $1 million annual
donation to provide ALL STARS grants for Clubs to add or improve
flag or tackle football and cheerleading teams. In 2014, Buffalo
Wild Wings will give more than 25,000 kids the chance to be part of
a team through the initiative. Additional donations will be raised
through sauce and seasoning bottle sales and a variety of
in-restaurant promotions.
Buffalo Wild Wings’ commitment to helping make communities a
better place to live, work and grow has always been a part of its
culture. Since the first restaurants opened in Ohio, the company
has supported local community and school sports teams. Over the
years, Buffalo Wild Wings, its franchisees and Guests have given
millions of dollars to local teams, local community and school
organizations, and to support those in need. Buffalo Wild Wings
Guests can support the Team Up for Kids initiative by donating at
www.buffalowildwings.com/giving and BGCA online.
