In April, Hardee's launched its Stars for Heroes in-store fundraiser benefiting military charities, including The Mission Continues and USA Cares. Thanks to your readers' generous donations, we're happy to announce more than $750K raised thus far (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 Heroes" 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.

While the in-store fundraiser has concluded, consumers are able to continue backing the nation's military communities through a special donation page housed on the Stars for Heroes Facebook page (www.facebook.com/starsforheroes).

More information about Stars for Heroes is available here: http://bit.ly/LvDeHD. Thanks again to you and your readers for the support! I look forward to sharing additional news with you about Hardee's future military fundraising efforts.
