Funds were raised from sales of $1 Seattle
Mariners decals and a donation match from Jack in the Box
Thanks to the undeniable generosity of the Western Washington
community, Jack in the Box® has raised $35,000 for the Seattle
Children’s Hospital. Throughout July and August, Washingtonians
showed their support by purchasing thousands of $1 Seattle Mariners
decals at more than 100 participating Jack in the Box restaurants
in Western Washington.
In addition to $16,732 raised by the sale of decals in
restaurants, local Jack in the Box franchise owners matched net
proceeds from the fundraiser and donated an additional $18,268. All
proceeds will benefit Seattle Children’s in support of its mission
to prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric diseases.
“We were overwhelmed and humbled by our guests’ willingness to
donate to such an important medical institution,” said Kristin
Pirkle, Jack in the Box Regional Marketing Manager. “This campaign
shows how a little can go a long way. Our thanks to the thousands
of guests who donated to help Seattle Children’s support the
Pacific Northwest community.”
Jack in the Box will present a check to the Seattle Children’s
Hospital on Wednesday, September 2, during a private ceremony at a
Jack in the Box downtown restaurant. Patients and families who have
benefited from receiving care at the Seattle Children’s Hospital
are expected to be in attendance, along with representatives from
Jack in the Box, Seattle Children’s and the Seattle Mariners.
The good news for the local community doesn’t stop there! Any
time the Seattle Mariners win a home game this season, fans can
visit any participating Jack in the Box restaurant in Western
Washington to receive a FREE Jumbo Jack® with any purchase. This
promotion is only valid the day after the Mariners win a home game.
All fans have to do is mention “Mariners” to the cashier to receive
their free Jumbo Jack with purchase.
