DALLAS, Jan. 24,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wingstop Inc. (NASDAQ: WING)
announced today an expansion of its ongoing efforts to assist
people and communities impacted by the wildfires in Southern California.
Through a partnership with the American Red Cross, Wingstop is
making it easier for guests to support wildfire relief efforts.
When ordering through Wingstop.com or the Wingstop mobile app,
customers can round up to the nearest dollar at checkout to benefit
the Red Cross. Over the next month, 100% of contributions made
through our round up program will be donated to the Red Cross.
"It has been tragic to see the devastation impacting
California residents affected by
wildfires, especially in Los Angeles
County. At Wingstop, we are committed to helping those in
need. Disasters like these can devastate entire communities, making
it essential for those with resources to step in and provide
assistance. These wildfires are among the most destructive in
California's history, and timely
relief is crucial for those affected," said Wingstop CEO and
President, Michael Skipworth. "We
are truly grateful to the first responders who are working
heroically and tirelessly to protect our communities. As a company
that deeply values relationships, we are dedicated to supporting
the Southern California community
in meaningful ways as they work to rebuild. This commitment is the
foundation of our partnership with the Red Cross over the next
month as the fires continue to impact people throughout the
region."
In addition to raising funds through the round-up program,
Wingstop will continue to offer free meals to first responders when
they show their badge at the register, take food to local fire
stations and medical facilities to help feed first responders, law
enforcement and emergency personnel on site.
