It appears Taco Bell is taking a page out of Starbucks’ book by placing a greater focus on education. Only instead of offering to help pay for college, the fast-food franchise giant is launching a marketing campaign aimed at inspiring teenagers to graduate high school, according to Nation’s Restaurant News.
Using the hashtag #RecognizePotential on social media, the company hopes to create a dialogue while also highlighting a national fundraising campaign at its locations where guests are encouraged to donate a dollar to the Taco Bell Foundation. This organization works directly with teens for everything from job training support to financial assistance.
