People: Youth Foundation Promise
Support charity organisations that equip Aussies with the skills to thrive and live life to its fullest.
In May 2018, we were extremely excited to launch the KFC Youth Foundation to build confidence in young Aussies. We love their passion and drive, and we know they thrive – not just survive – with the right support.
To support these charities over the years, we’ve been able to have some fun in the way we raise funds. We’ve seen franchisees set up car washes in their drive-thrus, created merchandise for fans to purchase, formed the Rally4Youth, which sees more than 40 cars travel across regional Victoria. We’ve created “Chip In Week”, which saw us launch a limited-edition bucket of chips with proceeds from sales going to the Foundation.
Throughout the entire process, we’ve not only raised over $3.9 million for the charities, but we’ve also seen our people become incredibly invested in the success of the foundation. Many of the activities that raise funds have been born from team members and franchise partners who are willing to spend their personal time giving back to those who need it most.
