Abuelo\u2019s Raises $10,000 for Honor Flight Network <\/strong>In November \u201cQueso for Heroes\u201d Fundraiser<\/strong><\/p>\n

Funds Raised During Veterans Day Promotion Will Send Up to 25 <\/em>Veterans to Visit Washington, D.C. Memorials<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Crestview Hills, KY \u2013 December 13, 2019 \u2013<\/strong> Abuelo\u2019s Mexican Restaurant, famous for its authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine, raised $10,000 during its \u201cQueso for Heroes\u201d promotion to celebrate Veterans Day. The funds were raised in partnership with Honor Flight Network, an organization that transports American veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit memorials dedicated to those who served.<\/p>\n

Abuelo\u2019s donated $1 to Honor Flight for each sale of its popular Chile con Queso appetizer from Thursday, Nov. 7 to Monday, Nov. 11, in every restaurant location. Restaurant guests also had the opportunity to donate $5 to spin a prize wheel for a chance to win free entrees, appetizers, desserts or queso. Additionally, the company hosted Honor Flight representatives at its Lubbock, Texas location to raise awareness about the Honor Flight Network and its mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so grateful to everyone who participated in the promotion at Abuelo\u2019s. The Honor Flight Network thanks the entire Abuelo\u2019s team for its generous support,\u201d said Meredith Rosenbeck, CEO of Honor Flight. \u201cIt\u2019s donors and sponsors like Abuelo\u2019s who make it possible for Honor Flight to provide veterans with closure, a chance to share their experiences and stories and an opportunity to see firsthand how their sacrifice is honored at memorials in the nation\u2019s capital.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honor Flight transported more than 21,000 veterans in 2018. The non-profit gives top priority to senior veterans as well as veterans who may be terminally ill. The organization honors veterans who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam and plans to expand service to include veterans from more recent conflicts. The organization has flown more than 230,000 veterans since 2005, but the waiting list is long; currently, more than 38,000 are awaiting their Honor Flight.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiving back to our communities is an integral part of Abuelo\u2019s culture, so we\u2019re proud to partner with Honor Flight to salute these heroes,\u201d said Bob Lin, President. \u201cI\u2019d like to thank the guests who participated in the Queso for Heroes promotion, and we also deeply appreciate the Abuelo\u2019s employees who honored our veterans by making the promotion so successful.\u201d<\/p>\n
