Arby's Foundation Partners with TEGNA, Points of Light for Make A Difference Day on October 22

October 5, 2016 /3BL Media/ - The Arby’s Foundation will partner with TEGNA Inc and Points of Light for Make A Difference Day on Saturday, October 22. Make A Difference Day is one of the largest annual single-days of service nationwide.  In their inaugural year of the partnership, the Arby’s Foundation will provide support for Make A Difference Day projects across the country.

“We are thrilled to be a partner for Make a Difference Day for the first time this year,” said Paul Brown, CEO, Arby’s Restaurant Group. “At Arby’s, we have six core values that have guided how we do business for decades. One of these values is Make a Difference. Our commitment to this value makes joining this volunteer program a natural fit. The entire Arby’s system is excited to see our Make a Difference value come to life at a national level next month as we come together to give back to the communities we serve.”

This October 22, thousands of volunteers and communities across the country will come together with a common mission: to improve the lives of others through community-driven service projects.

Volunteers are encouraged to register their project at makeadifferenceday.com. By registering, project organizers are eligible to win a $10,000 grant to donate to a charity of their choice.

Make A Difference Day began in 1992 and takes place annually on the fourth Saturday in October. Make A Difference Day is made possible by the employees of TEGNA with support from the Arby’s Foundation and longtime partner Points of Light.
