Four M Pairs Up With Milford Boys & Girls Club for EWRF Event
Four M Franchising’s Milford, Connecticut, Buffalo Wild Wings® has promising future team members getting an early start with the location. In October, the location partnered with the local Boys & Girls Club for an Eat Wings Raise Funds event that allowed youth from the club to shadow Four M staff.
“That evening we had 15 members from the program come out and work with our staff. The kids from the club were then provided dinner and were able to talk to guests about the club,” said Danielle Cadden, training general manager. “The kids learned a lot about team work and food safety, and as they are not here to work, they love to help out and ask questions. I see many future employees.”
Leading up to the evening, the Milford location, owned by franchisee James Bitzonis, promoted the night through flyers and email blasts, and because the B-Dubs® is located inside the local mall, Four M tapped the outlet’s website and social media platforms for additional promotion. Held from 5-10 p.m., the EWRF event brought in almost $300 for the Milford Boys & Girls Club.
“The kids donned their Boys & Girls Club football, basketball and new soccer jerseys they were able to purchase with the donations from our location. The jerseys also feature the BWW® logo, so they can show their support for us as well,” Cadden said. “The families who utilize the Boys & Girls Club may not always be able to dine out, but when they do, we know we are their No. 1 choice in dining.”
Four M team members expressed their pleasure at being able to work with the youth, and the Milford B-Dubs is already looking forward to hosting the event again in the near future. For Four M’s 18 Buffalo Wild Wings locations, getting hands-on in the community is what it’s all about.
“This is always a fun event where we are able to give back to the community,” said Four M Director of Operations Beth Faulkner. “Staying community-connected ensures we remain the place to dine out for all events for the family.”
