All 320 family casual restaurants will be hosting a Military Benefit Night for the Armed Services YMCA®, a top-rated charity that supports active military and their families. The national fundraiser will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. on January 12, and a portion of the sales generated during that time will be donated to the ASYMCA to further their mission of "making military life easier."
"The ASYMCA provides critical programs and services for our active duty military men and women, as well as their families. We are honored to align ourselves with this highly regarded organization" said Anthony Wedo, CEO for Ovation Brands® and newly appointed ASYMCA national board member. "The Military Benefit Night further emphasizes our commitment to the brave soldiers who sacrifice so much for our freedom and safety, and their loved ones who stand by them. We anticipate raising at least $10,000 for the ASYMCA with the help of our guests."
To participate in the Military Benefit Night, simply dine at any of the buffet restaurants between 5 to 8 p.m. on January 12, and a portion of your purchase will be donated to the ASYMCA.

"The ASYMCA relies on the generosity of supporters and partners like Ovation Brands to continue our programs," said Mike Landers, President and CEO of the national ASYMCA. "Thanks to their support nationally and locally, we are able to continue programs like Operations Outdoors (a camp program for military children and parents) and Operation Hero (an after-school program that helps elementary-aged military children cope with the stress of having a parent or parents who are deployed). We are fortunate to offer a number of programs free of charge for active military, their spouses, and children."
