FightZone TV Donates $25,000
Mar 21, 2010
(PRESS RELEASE) -- FightZone TV has announced that co-owners Jay
Adams and Al Martino have committed to donating $25,000 of National
commercial airtime to be included in their programs airing during
the month of March to Outback Steakhouse's national promotion to
support U.S.. troops and their families with $1 million
donation.
Outback Steakhouse, a longtime supporter of U.S. military troops, has committed to donate $1 million to Operation Homefront, a non-profit organization that provides emergency and morale support for active troops, veterans and their families.
“The sacrifices that our troops and their families make so we can
enjoy the freedoms we have in the United States is something
Outback employees have recognized and appreciated since we opened
our doors 22 years ago,” said Liz Smith, CEO of OSI Restaurant
Partners, parent company of Outback Steakhouse. “Our commitment to
donate $1 million to Operation Homefront reflects our appreciation
to those who give so much.”
For the month of March, Outback is holding a month-long “Thanks for Giving” effort in participating restaurant locations in the U.S. and Hawaii. Restaurant-goers are invited to express their appreciation to our country’s dedicated servicemen and women by visiting Outback restaurants this month and ordering from the “Red, White and Bloomin’” menu. Proceeds from menu sales during the month of March will help to meet the $1 million commitment to Operation Homefront. The menu will be available through March 31.
“As a retired member of the U.S. military and on behalf of our troops serving in locations far and wide, I’d like to thank Outback Steakhouse for its support over the years,” said General Tommy Franks (Ret.). “This support, coupled with the current effort to help our active and retired servicemen, women and their families, is greatly appreciated.”
To further raise awareness about this important cause, Outback has partnered with country music superstar Tim McGraw on his Southern Voice concert tour, scheduled to visit more than 60 U.S. cities this spring and summer. Proceeds from a Southern Voice commemorative t-shirt will also be donated to Operation Homefront.
“When I learned about Outback’s commitment to the troops and history of helping our local communities, it really felt like the perfect fit to partner with them in their efforts,” said McGraw. “Together with Outback, our shared goal is to help raise awareness and funds to help our selfless servicemen and women.”
