I’m “Thanking” Arby’s
Arby’s restaurants recently awarded $7,089.55 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint through the 2010 Arby’s Foundation National Community Fundraiser. Arby’s customers who came into local restaurants from May 3rd through June 15th could donate a dollar and sign a “Help Us Help Kids” pin-up to hang on the walls of the restaurants.
