Hickory Tavern today announced it will donate $.50 from every full order of chicken wings sold during the first two full weekends (Thursday – Sunday) of the March basketball tournament to Purple Heart Homes, which provides housing solutions to service-connected disabled veterans and their families.
“We are looking forward to the March Insanity at Hickory Tavern and there is simply no better place to watch the games,” said Hickory Tavern CMO Thom Perez. “We also wanted to take the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the veterans who make our very freedom possible and we felt partnering with Purple Heart Homes and providing a donation from our wing sales during the tournament was the ideal way to do that.”
The charitable aspect of enjoying the games at Hickory Tavern comes on the heels of the restaurant brand’s announcement that it will provide fans with FREE Chips & Queso all day on March 17 & 18. Hickory Tavern is even providing a doctor’s note for fans who plan to play hooky. The doctor’s notes will be exchanged for the free food.
Hickory Tavern’s offer of FREE Chips & Queso is valid in-restaurant only and requires the note which can be obtained at Hickory Tavern any time through Wednesday, March 15 or printed here: http://tinyurl.com/jphwqtp. There is a limit of one appetizer per table per visit and other restrictions may apply.
