In May, Hardee's launched its Stars for Troops in-store fundraiser benefiting Homes for Our Troops and USA Cares. Thanks to your readers' generous donations, we're happy to announce more than $1 million raised (by CKE Restaurants - Carl's Jr. and Hardee's) to assist military families and veterans.

To participate, restaurant guests donated $1 in support of military charities. For each $1 donation, guests received a commemorative "Stars for Troops" cut out to personalize and place on display in the restaurant; in addition, they received restaurant coupons valued at more than $10 to use toward future purchases.

More information about Stars for Troops is available here: http://pitch.pe/155971 Thanks again to you and your readers for the support - and for making this fundraiser a success. I look forward to sharing additional news with you about Hardee's future military fundraising efforts.
