Traveling mobility equipped Ford F-250 Super
Duty to garner support for families of combat wounded
veterans
The award-winning, family casual-dining restaurant Quaker Steak
& Lube®, is combining forces with Wounded Warriors Family
Support in the organization’s mission of improving the quality of
lives for the families of combat wounded service men and women. The
Wounded Warriors Family Support (WWFS) High Five Tour will take a
Ford F-250 Super Duty on the road from Louisville to Detroit,
stopping at nine Quaker Steak & Lube restaurants along the
way.
Now in its eighth year, the High Five Tour is an iconic road
trip whereby WWFS thanks Americans for their appreciation and
support of our nation’s military families and the sacrifices these
families make when America goes to war. Those wishing to show their
support are invited and encouraged to attend one of the Quaker
Steak & Lube tour stops, make a donation, and sign the F-250
tour vehicle with a message of support to our country’s veterans
and their families.
“We’re happy to partner with the WWFS on the High Five Tour
again this year,” said John Ponczoch, Senior Vice President of
TravelCenters of America’s TA Restaurant Group, which owns and
franchises Quaker Steak & Lube. “We participated on a smaller
scale in the tour last year with three Quaker Steak & Lube
locations. We’re happy to increase our support this year with nine
restaurant stops. The work that WWFS does for veteran families is
both admirable and impressive – it’s an honor to have the
opportunity to help them raise awareness and donations,” he
continued.
“The High Five Tour is a road trip where we thank Americans for
their appreciation and support of our nation’s military families
for the sacrifices they make when America goes to war,” said Col.
John Folsom, USMCR (Ret.), founder and president of Wounded
Warriors Family Support. “Every donation, large or small, is deeply
appreciated and helps us meet our goal of making these programs a
reality for the many deserving veterans and their families.”
