NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This summer, Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s restaurants are partnering with the National Park Foundation for a Star Pals™ kids’ meal promotion celebrating the unique experiences and exciting discoveries that await visitors to our national parks. To support the foundation’s mission to preserve and protect parks across the country, the restaurants are also making a $100,000 donation.
The toys offered with each Star Pals™ meal include an activity book, matching game, scavenger hunts, and fun fact cards, each reflecting on the diversity of wildlife, landscapes, and cultures found throughout various parks across the country.
“With travel picking up again, families are ready to hit the road now more than ever – so what better time to share all that our national parks offer,” said Patty Trevino, senior vice president of brand marketing at CKE Restaurants. “We hope our guests find fun for the whole family with this special Star Pals program, wherever their travels take them this summer.”
“We’re thrilled that the Star Pals™ program is inspiring the next generation of park stewards to learn more about the nature, history, and culture found throughout our national parks," said Stefanie Mathew, senior vice president of corporate partnerships at the National Park Foundation. "The National Park Foundation is grateful to receive $100,000 in support of our efforts to preserve and protect these treasured places for generations to come.”
