The brand also presented a $375,612 donation to the Kids In Need Foundation, made possible by a giveback campaign in August.
A highlight of the reunion was the annual Freddy & Bill Simon Memorial Golf Tournament. Developed in memory of the brand’s namesake, Freddy Simon, and co-founder, Bill Simon, this year’s tournament raised $20,277 to be donated to the Freddy & Bill Simon Scholarship, a program that helps financially support Freddy’s team members pursuing post-secondary education in college or vocational programs.
Furthering that ongoing commitment to education, during the reunion, Freddy’s presented a donation of $375,612 to the Kids In Need Foundation, an organization that provides essential supplies to students and teachers in under-resourced schools. This donation was made possible through the generosity of Freddy’s guests during the brand’s giveback campaign in August.
"At Freddy’s, we believe that investing in both our people and their education is one of the most impactful ways we can uplift our community," said Chris Dull, CEO of Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers.
