Bob Evans Farmhouse Kitchen, New Albany, Ohio, announced the return of “Egg Crack, Give Back” fundraiser for its fifth year. This year, guests can support agricultural education for America’s future farmers in two ways.
During the week of Feb. 15 to 22, coinciding with National FFA Week, 5% of every Bob Evans gift card purchased online will be donated. Also on Feb. 20, dubbed “Give FFA Day,” Bob Evans locations will pledge $1 of every Farmer’s Choice Breakfast sold all day for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The two donation methods and overall fundraiser stands as a pillar in Bob Evans’ partnership with the National FFA Organization and will see a total contribution of up to $15,000.
“We’re excited to continue supporting the next generation of American farmers with our annual Egg Crack, Give Back fundraiser alongside the National FFA Organization,” said Mickey Mills, CEO of Bob Evans Restaurants. “With our deep roots in the agricultural community, we believe it is important to support local farmers and students who will make an impact in the future.”
As in previous years, the annual fundraiser will help to underwrite the Supervised Agricultural Experience grants that allow Midwestern FFA students access to agricultural internships, resources and entrepreneurial opportunities within their communities. In acknowledgement of our founder, Bob Evans, and his love and appreciation for the farming community, the “Egg Crack, Give Back” fundraiser is an important extension of the partnership between the legacy brand and the National FFA Organization.
“This year, we have even more menu items and ways to get involved to help the future generation of American farmers,” said Bob Holtcamp, president and chief marketing officer of Bob Evans Restaurants. “From Farmer’s Choice options to gift card sales benefitting the National FFA Organization, we invite everyone to help us in continuing to shape the future of the agriculture industry.”
The hero of the “Egg Crack, Give Back” fundraiser is the Farmer’s Choice Breakfast. Bob Evans’ signature breakfast is named for hardworking American farmers similar to the brand’s founder, Bob Evans.
All varieties of the Farmer’s Choice Breakfast, such as The Double Meat Farmer, Homestead Farmer, Red, White & Blueberry Farmer and Banana Berry Farmer, also qualify for the fundraising event.
