Support us at Wendy’s
The next time you’re enjoying a meal at Wendy’s, ask about our special fundraisers. There are many ways to pitch in to our cause—and a few of them even involve a free Frosty!
DTFA canister program
The dimes you get as change. The pennies and quarters hiding under your couch cushions. The nickels rolling around in the bottom of your purse. It doesn’t seem like much money, but all those small coins can make a big difference.
In 2010, change donated by Wendy’s customers raised over $2.5 million. The money goes toward Wendy’s Wonderful Kids, our signature program, to find forever homes for children waiting in foster care.
The next time you stop by your local Wendy’s, drop some coins into the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption canisters. It probably won’t feel like you’re doing a lot, but when each of us gives a little, it really adds up.
Father’s Day Frosty Weekend
When you buy a cold and delicious Frosty over Father’s Day weekend, Wendy’s donates 50 cents to DTFA. You can also donate by purchasing a Frosty pin-up for $1. And kids can go online to create Father’s Day e-cards from a variety of scenes and objects and send them off to their dads. Wendy’s donates an additional 25 cents to the Foundation for every Frosty Card sent. In 2010, our Father’s Day Frosty campaign raised $1.8 million.
Halloween Trick or Treat gift books
Every fall, buy Jr. Frosty Halloween coupon treat books for only $1. Wendy’s donates 90% of all treat book sales to the Foundation. And in Wendy’s Wonderful Kids markets, all of the proceeds are used specifically to fund grants to support Wendy’s Wonderful Kids adoption recruiters. Since the fundraiser began in 1992, it has generated millions of dollars for the Foundation, and all donations go to help out the communities where the money was originally raised.
Frosty key tags
Hang it on your key ring, and for just $1 you can have a free Jr. Frosty for one year at participating Wendy’s. Available in select markets across the U.S.
Wendy’s Kids’ Meal
Every time a Kids’ Meal is purchased, three cents is given to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption to help our work in finding forever families for kids in foster care waiting to be adopted.
