Hardee's and the PFF host families with Down
syndrome
The Hardee's Corporation and the PFF invited
over 500 people with Down syndrome and their
families to join us for a celebration at the
Hardee's restaurant at Big Bend and Interstate
44 in Kirkwood, Missouri. "Every child
with Down syndrome in the St. Louis area could
bring their family to dinner, and the entire
dinner would be on us." said Jeff Mochal,
Public Relations Manager at Hardee's Corporation.
"We wanted to make this a family event,
where the kids could feel like they are taking
their families out for dinner."
Hardee's has also committed
to donating $500.00 to the PFF for every Home
Run Albert Pujols hit this year. "We
are already looking at $12,000.00 donation,
and it's the first day of June!" said
Mochal. "Just being here tonight with
these families really puts a face on the good
work that Albert and Deidre are doing through
this Foundation, we are just glad to be a
part."
Thank you to everyone who came
out in the rain to make this event a success!
