On Sunday, Feb. 15, all eyes will be on the Golden Corral #28 Ford and its driver Travis Kvapil as he races for the checkered flag for American families and the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) during the 2009 Daytona 500. If Kvapil finishes in the top 10, Golden Corral will give every kid in America a free buffet* as well as make a $5,000 donation to the DAV. In celebration of Kvapil’s success, Golden Corral, America’s favorite family buffet and grill restaurant chain, will turn Monday, Feb. 16, into “Kids Eat Free” Day. Families who bring a Daytona 500 race ticket or official race results from a newspaper or Web site can receive a free kid’s buffet for any child 12 and under with the purchase of an adult buffet at participating restaurants. In addition to “Kids Eat Free” Day, Golden Corral will also make a $5,000 donation to the DAV, an 87-year-old non-profit organization dedicated to providing services – free of charge through its nationwide network – to disabled veterans and their families. Through Golden Corral’s “Military Appreciation Monday,” the company has helped raise more than $3.26 million for the DAV since the program started in 2001.(chainleader.com)(2-10-2009)
