Money Raised During Abuelo’s “Queso for Heroes” Promotion Helps Honor Flight <\/em>Fulfill Its Mission to Transport Veterans to Washington, D.C. at No Charge<\/em><\/p>\n

LUBBOCK, Texas, Nov. 9, 2021 —<\/strong> Abuelo’s Mexican Restaurant, famous for its authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine, is paying tribute to America\u2019s veterans again this year by partnering with Honor Flight, a nonprofit that transports veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit national memorials that honor U.S. service members. Abuelo\u2019s will donate $1 to Honor Flight for each Chile con Queso appetizer sold from Sunday, November 10 through Saturday, November 14, at every Abuelo\u2019s location.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with Abuelo\u2019s helps us transport veterans to visit the nation\u2019s capital to remember comrades and share their experiences,\u201d said Meredith Rosenbeck, CEO of Honor Flight. \u201cWe are grateful to the Abuelo\u2019s team and restaurant guests who make this fundraiser a success. Without the generosity and support of donors and sponsors, the services we provide to veterans wouldn\u2019t be possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with Honor Flight to pay tribute to those who served and sacrificed in defense of freedom,\u201d said Robert Lin, President of Abuelo\u2019s. \u201cOur team members and guests did a wonderful job in past years raising funds for this cause, and we anticipate another successful year. We owe our veterans everything, so it is an honor to salute them again this year with an Honor Flight promotion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks to sponsors and donors, veterans who participate in Honor Flight trips are able to travel to Washington, D.C. at no cost as a sign of appreciation and gratitude for their service. Veterans on Honor Flight trips get an opportunity to visit memorials and monuments in the capital, pay tribute to lost friends and share their stories with fellow veterans.
