What is Folds of Honor?
According to Budweiser,” Folds of Honor is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of US military service members and first responders who have fallen or been disabled while serving our country and communities.” This scholarship supports private school tuition or tutoring for grades K-12, college tuition, technical and trade school, and post-graduate work, like a master’s degree, doctorate, or professional program.
Folds of Honor has contributed over 600 scholarships to Georgia residents.
How is Budweiser contributing to the Folds of Honor mission?
It’s pretty simple: they sell their beer, and give a portion of the proceeds to Folds of Honor. By purchasing Budweiser in Georgia, (including their new, limited-edition Budweiser patriotic packaging), consumers (21+, of course) can contribute to the cause. Whether you’re enjoying a crisp cold one in the stadium or you buy a limited-edition pack from your favorite beer retailer, Budweiser will donate a portion of the proceeds from all Budweiser patriotic packaging sold between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
You can meet the Budweiser Clydesdales and contribute to education scholarships, all in one!
