Lancaster Wings Helps Local Fire Department Raise $1,500 for Utility Task Vehicle

A Lancaster, Ohio, B-Dubs^® location showed support for its local fire department by hosting a month-long Eat Wings Raise Funds event. The Lancaster Fire Department is raising funds to purchase a $14,145 utility task vehicle and other specialized equipment, and every Monday for four weeks they received 10 percent of sales at their local BWW^® from 5-10 p.m.

The new vehicle would allow the first responders to better access areas such as bike paths and gatherings with large crowds that have limited or no access to typical emergency vehicles, and thanks to Lancaster Wings, the fire department is $1,500 closer to their goal.

“The vehicle and specialized equipment we are trying to purchase will bring a new level of fire safety to the Lancaster area,” said Lancaster Fire Chief David Ward. “We are excited to be partnering with Buffalo Wild Wings^® and hope the community will support this great cause.”

On top of the 10 percent of sales that was donated to the fire department, every Monday during the event firefighters would come into the restaurant and serve patrons themselves.

“Supporting the community is a key value of our business, and we are excited to have helped raise money for the fire department,” said franchisee Larry Tipton. “Hosting the Eat Wings Raise Funds event is both relevant and beneficial to Lancaster, and we are so glad the community came out to help support this great cause.”
