Chicago Area Hooters’ “Wings for Children” to Benefit Local Kids

During the month of February, Chicago area Hooters Restaurants will again donate a portion of their Nearly World Famous Chicken Wings sales to the Wings for Children program benefitting Holy Family School's Tuition Assistance Fund.

Every Tuesday in February, Hooters Restaurants throughout the area will donate one-third of all guests’ chicken wing purchases, to fund school tuition for at risk children in the community.

“We started this program in 1992 as a way to help local children get the wings they need to fly," said Hooters Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sal Melilli.

"A good education is the cornerstone of a young person's future," he said, "and if we at Hooters can help give kids here in our local community a leg up, help put them on the road to better lives, better futures, that's what it's all about."

Susan Work, chief executive officer of Holy Family Ministries said, “'Wings For the Children' is a great name for a great program.  Holy Family School offers a choice for families who are unhappy with their other school options.  It provides academic rigor and a positive school culture.  But families on the west side need scholarship assistance in order to enroll.  Wings for Children has provided that assistance for dozens of children over the years.  When given this opportunity, the children soar!"
