SAN ANTONIO, TX, December 21, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The results of Whataburger's company-wide Christmas toy drive are in and employees of the iconic burger chain donated more than 3,000 toys to fire-rescue departments in seven cities.
The toy drives coincided with 'Whataburger Serves,' a new long-term initiative designed to share the Whataburger spirit of selfless service with customers, employees and the community.
"Whataburger is dedicated to serving the community. Our employees are always willing to help each other and our community. The outpouring of support for this initiative was amazing," said Tom Dobson, Whataburger Restaurants, LP Chairman and CEO.
The toy drives were held in El Paso, Dallas, Pensacola, San Antonio, Houston, Corpus Christi and Waxahachie and were collected both at the local restaurants and corporate offices. The toys were then donated to local fire-rescue departments in the cities and were distributed to area children.
