The
Indianapolis Colts join Taco Bell to support the
Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Indiana.
Indianapolis
area Taco Bell® Restaurants will team up for
the third year with the Indianapolis Colts to sponsor
“Touchdown for Teens,” a fundraiser
benefiting The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central
Indiana. Throughout the 2007 season, Taco Bell will
donate $100 for every touchdown the Colts score.
One hundred percent of the net profits will go toward
various Boys & Girls Clubs in Central Indiana.
Since 2005, the Colts have scored 110 touchdowns
which means that Taco Bell has donated $11,000 to
local Boys & Girls Clubs.
“Taco
Bell is excited to sponsor Touchdown for Teens for
the third year,” said Charlie Brown, local
Taco Bell franchise owner. “For every Touchdown
the Colts make, Taco Bell will donate $100 to help
kids at the Boys & Girls Club of Indianapolis.
We’re all hoping to see a lot of touchdowns
this season!”
Taco
Bell is also teaming up with the Indianapolis Colts
to sponsor the in-store “Touchdown for Teens”
promotion. Beginning August 29 thru September 10,
all Indianapolis area Taco Bell locations will sell
paper Horseshoes for $1. All net proceeds from the
$1 dollar contributions will be donated on behalf
of Taco Bell to various Boys & Girls Clubs of
Central Indiana.
