Buffalo, NY – May
2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Delaware
North, one of the largest privately held hospitality companies in the
world, has announced a national partnership with the United
Service Organizations (USO) to roll out a fundraising alliance at all
of its United States-based airport locations. The campaign will be employed
at the 17 airports Delaware North operates throughout the U.S. and will
run from Memorial Day weekend until the end of the year.
“Delaware
North is a proud supporter of our nation’s service members and their families,”
said Kevin Kelly, president of Delaware North’s travel division. “As a
leader in the hospitality industry, we are excited to partner with the
USO, whose mission is to strengthen America’s military service members
by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their
service to the nation. We see the USO’s impact on our Armed Forces in our
airports every day, thanking troops about to deploy and reuniting families
as they come back home.”
The campaign will entail a call for donations through three methods at Delaware North’s 200-plus airport dining locations, with all proceeds going to benefit the USO and its mission: 1) Guests can “round up” to the nearest dollar amount while making purchases, 2) Guests can purchase a limited-edition commemorative USO beverage cup, 3) Money collection stations will be set up at all points of sale for additional donations. “We look forward to this new partnership with Delaware North, which will build upon our long-standing presence in airports across the country and raise awareness about the USO,” said Michael Hoar, USO vice president of corporate alliances. “This opportunity invites the general public to be a Force Behind the Forces to help keep service members connected to the things they hold so dear.” Delaware North locations at the following airports will be taking part in the campaign: Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Boise Airport, Buffalo Niagara International Airport, Charleston International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Denver International Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Nashville International Airport, Ontario (CA) International Airport, Richmond International Airport, Tampa International Airport, Will Rogers World Airport.
