Those who purchase a box of cookies for the military that night will receive a free box of their favorite Girl Scout cookies.

“Our partnership with Duffy’s Sports Grill is so important to our Cookies for the Military program, said Lisa Johnson, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida. “Since Give a Box, Get a Box was launched with Duffy’s in 2013, nearly 40,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies have been donated to the military. We are thrilled to continue this heartwarming tradition and grateful for the community’s ongoing support.”

“Duffy’s Foundation has been involved with the Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida for over 10 years. We are true believers in supporting cookies for the military as it helps both the Girl Scouts as well as Forgotten Soldiers Outreach.” said Geri Emmett, Chairwoman of the Duffy’s Foundation.
