Fill Hearts with Love through Wendy’s #Share4Adoption Social Media Campaign

Fill Hearts with Love through Wendy’s #Share4Adoption Social Media Campaign

Published 07-05-16

Submitted by Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption

You have the power to fill hearts with love through Wendy’s® #Share4Adoption campaign. The next time you and your family visits a Wendy’s restaurant, you can help children in foster care find their forever families. All you have to do is share your hearts!

Right now, Wendy’s is serving drinks in specially designed cups featuring a hand making half a heart. For each customer who completes the heart with their hand and posts a photo of the full heart to social media with #Share4Adoption, Wendy’s will pledge a $5 donation to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption,® proving that sharing truly is caring.*

After the success of last year’s #Share4Adoption campaign, which achieved its goal of 100,000 mentions within the first seven weeks, Wendy’s is raising funds again to support the effort to find loving families for the more than 100,000 children in the United States waiting in foster care.

“When you’re scrolling through your social media feed reading stories about those in need, the instinct to help is often overcome by the difficulty of not knowing how to help,” said Liliana Esposito, Wendy’s Chief Communications Officer and trustee of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. “Our #Share4Adoption campaign makes it incredibly easy to raise awareness for these children, which will ultimately help them get adopted. We are honored to serve the cause our founder was so passionate about and encourage everyone to join us in making hearts whole.”"‹

*For each original public #Share4Adoption post on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram made through 10/31/2016, $5 will be donated to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, up to a maximum of $500,000.
