March 31, 2011

Boston Market presented a check this week for $829,091.59 to Give Kids The World, a nonprofit resort in Central Florida designed to provide memorable, cost-free experiences to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.

The donation comes from the sale of more than 825,000 coupon booklets at Boston Market restaurants in 2010.

"Give Kids The World has been a Boston Market charity partner since 2008 and we are proud to provide our support to this incredible organization," said George Michel, CEO, Boston Market. "We're especially thankful to our guests for helping us achieve this sizeable donation as it will help make a difference in the lives of children served by Give Kids The World."

A nationally recognized charity, Give Kids The World provides families with a weeklong, cost-free vacation in Kissimmee, Fla., including accommodations at its resort, donated tickets to local theme parks, meals and more.

Boston Market opened Katie's Kitchen in 2009, an eatery that provides rotisserie chicken meals to families staying at Give Kids The World Village.

Boston Market has raised more than $2.5 million through these coupon booklet sales since the program began in 2008. The booklets each contained more than $50 in offers for Boston Market.
