Stars for Heroes: CKE Restaurants' Commitment to Supporting Military Veterans and Their Families
CKE Restaurants, the parent company of Hardee's and Carl's Jr., has shown its support for military veterans and their families by raising over $15 million through the Stars for Heroes campaign. This initiative allows customers to donate a dollar by purchasing a paper star that is displayed in the restaurant. The funds raised go towards supporting post-9/11 veterans and their families through the national nonprofit partner USA Cares, as well as local charities selected by franchisees. The commitment of Hardee's and Carl's Jr. to assist those who have served our country is evident in their actions, not just words. With over 1,000 Carl's Jr. and 1,500 Hardee's locations across the country, the impact of this campaign is widespread and meaningful. USA Cares, established in 2003, continues to provide assistance to military veterans and their families, making a difference in their lives.
