Hardee's Donates to The Highground
Monday, January 18th, 2016 -- 8:17 AM
-Dave Droste, owner of Hardee's of Neillsville, Colby and Medford, presented a check to The Highground Board of Directors.Droste, a member of the Hardee's Independent Franchisee Association, explained that "Stars for Heroes" program at each store is what generated the generous $5000 check. As customers purchased the $1.00 stars, the funds are collected and then donated to veteran resources. The Association suggests they "give back" locally and Droste thought of The Highground Veterans Park.
Dave Droste of Hardee's has been a huge supporter of the Park for many years. In the past, the HIFA contributed to purchasing the Texas Barrier in the Wisconsin Persian Gulf Tribute, to be dedicated during the "Operation Persian Gulf Welcome Home" event July 23rd, and now contributing funds to the new Welcome Center's POW tower. Their contributions will help make this new facility of The Highground a reality. The Board of Directors thanks Droste, all the other independent franchisees and the Hardee's customers that continue to participate in remembering and thanking our service men and women.
