HMSHost Corp. donated $25,000 to the United Service Organizations that is to be used to purchase Coca-Cola beverages for more than 30 USO centers at airports across the U.S.
The donation comes as part of a promotion the company ran over the summer in coordination with Coca-Cola’s Share a Coke program; it invited travelers to virtually thank troops and share a Coke with them by using the hashtag #HostAHero on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google Plus.
“When troops and military families are greeted with their favorite beverage at a USO center, we hope they are reminded that our country is thankful for their service and the many sacrifices they make,” says Christy Hartsell, USO vice president of corporate alliances.
