HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.,
Feb. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- BJ's Restaurants, Inc. (NASDAQ: BJRI) announced that team
members from its 188 BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse® locations
nationwide will deliver a special "thank you" lunch to first
responders on National Random Acts of Kindness Day this Friday.
On Feb. 17, BJ's team members will
deliver menu favorites to nearby police stations, firehouses and
emergency dispatch centers. The coordinated nationwide effort
represents the company's ongoing commitment to honor first
responders who serve our communities every day.
"This is the least we can do to give back to the men and women
who work around the clock to keep us safe," said Greg Trojan, President and CEO of BJ's
Restaurants, Inc. "Last fall, we made a pledge to recognize the
unsung heroes who may not make headlines, but who deserve a 'thank
you' for serving our communities every day. We created the Buy a
Hero a BeerSM program to allow our customers to join us
in that mission."
Friday's Random Acts of Kindness Day deliveries are an extension
of BJ's Buy a Hero a BeerSM program. For $6, anyone over the age of 21 may contribute a
pint of BJ's craft beer (or BJ's handcrafted soda), which can then
be redeemed by a firefighter, police officer or EMT at any BJ's
Restaurant & Brewhouse® nationwide. Since the launch of the Buy
a Hero a BeerSM program on Nov.
17, more than 11,000 pints have been contributed.
"The generosity from our customers has been astounding," Trojan
added. "They are helping to make sure our heroes are recognized and
rewarded, not just on National Random Acts of Kindness Day, but
every day."
Each BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse® has identified a local
police station, firehouse or dispatch center that will receive a
lunch delivery on Friday. For more information about the food drop
taking place in your community, please contact Lauren Hendeles at 602-750-5934 or
