The Arby's National Community Fundraiser began in 1999 when the first Make a Difference pin-up was sold at an Arby's restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina. In its first year, the program brought in $11,942 for local youth. "Charities are under pressure right now to raise funds in a tough economic climate. We're extremely proud of the extraordinary efforts of our franchisees and company-owned restaurants to not only meet our goal, but surpass it," said John Gray, Senior Vice President, Brand Communications, Arby's Restaurant Group, Inc. "There's a growing demand for structured, successful, youth mentoring, particularly in this economy when families are struggling," said Karen Mathis, newly appointed President & CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. "The Arby's National Community Fundraiser will benefit our local agencies, allowing them to serve more children, families and volunteers -- helping kids succeed and strengthening communities."
