Del Taco Independence Poppers
LAKE FOREST, Calif., May 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today Del Taco, the nation’s second-largest Mexican quick service restaurant*, announced its latest innovative flavors within its Poppers drinks lineup, Independence Poppers, now available for a limited time through July 12. Del Taco’s new red, white, and blue beverages will help provide assistance to America’s wounded heroes and their families through a partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation. This includes a minimum $20,000 donation and encourages guests to show their support for those who serve the nation by making a contribution at donate.garysinisefoundation.org.
Served over ice with Minute Maid® Zero Sugar Lemonade or refreshing Sprite®, these new Poppers drinks at Del Taco combine strawberry fruit flavored popping boba pearls with blue raspberry flavor to take the sipping experience up a notch. Poppers fans can also shake things up with these same flavors in a creamy mini vanilla shake with the Independence Mini Shake Poppers.
“It’s an honor to work with the Gary Sinise Foundation and play a part in the important work they do to positively impact the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our country,” said Tim Hackbardt, Del Taco’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We are proud to show our appreciation and gratitude and hope to raise awareness for this great cause.”
Founded in 2011 by award-winning actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise, the Gary Sinise Foundation’s mission is to serve our nation by honoring our service members, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need. The Foundation achieves its mission through programs and initiatives designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities. In an effort to honor and support our nation’s most severely wounded heroes, the Foundation’s Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment (R.I.S.E.) Program constructs brand new, custom built, mortgage-free smart technology homes, as well as provides home modifications, mobility devices, and adapted vehicles to alleviate the daily challenges faced by these heroes and their families.
“We are incredibly grateful for Del Taco’s partnership to support our mission of honoring our nation’s veterans, defenders, heroes and first responders, along with their families who have sacrificed so much,” said Donna Palmer, Executive Director of the Gary Sinise Foundation. “As our Founder Gary Sinise always says, ‘we can always do a little bit more,’ and Del Taco’s generous donation will allow us to further amplify our efforts to help these remarkable heroes and those who need it the most.”
