A few weeks ago, on Memorial Day, we went to Wendy’s for a family picnic. I purchased the food and we took it to our neighborhood park and one thing my husband specifically asked for was a Frosty. A true Frosty is soft served chocolate ice cream but it’s better than soft served. The consistency is better, it’s thicker than soft serve. We just love them.

Thanks to  The Motherhood and Wendy’s we’ll be enjoying a Frosty for Father’s Day and we’ll be giving to charity at the same time. Wendy’s will be giving 50 cents from each Frosty purchase to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption (DTFA) on Father’s Day weekend (June 18 & 19). These donations will be used to benefit the cause of Wendy’s Wonderful Kids, which is a program that helps foster children in need find great homes.

How Can You Make an Even Bigger Difference?

Just follow these simple steps and Wendy’s will make further donations to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

On Twitter, use the Treat it Forward application on www.facebook.com/frosty (Treat it Fwd tab), or use the hashtag: #TreatItFwd (please note, this is modified from the hashtag I sent last week). A donation will be made, by Wendy’s, for each designated tweet or re-tweet made from Treat it Forward.

On Facebook be sure to send a Facebook friend a “virtual” Frosty, or tell friends about Father’s Day Frosty Weekend through the Facebook application found on www.facebook.com/frosty (Treat it Fwd tab); as a result, Wendy’s will make a donation.

Also, from Facebook, on Father’s Day Weekend only (June 18 & 19), offer a “Here’s to You, Dad!” Frosty “virtual toast” by snapping a photo of you raising your Frosty cup to Dad, tagging it with the words “Wendy’s Father’s Day Frosty Weekend” and posting it to Wendy’s Facebook wall or tweeting it; this, too, will result in a donation from Wendy’s.

Do you Foursquare? Every person who ‘checks in’ to a Wendy’s during Father’s Day weekend only (June 18 & 19) will result in a donation from Wendy’s.
