Teal at the Wheel Program Seeks to Serve Over 1,000 Vehicles in One Hour
Torrington, Conn. – May 18, 2007 – Ovations for the Cure and McDonald’sÔ today announced that they are collaborating to raise money for ovarian cancer and set a new drive thru record. Ovations for the Cure, a Massachusetts-based, non-profit organization focused on research, patient treatment and awareness of ovarian cancer, is partnering with the fast food giant in the “Teal at the Wheel Drive Thru Challenge”.
Taking place on August 18, 2007, at seven east coast McDonald’s locations, the Teal at the Wheel Drive Thru Challenge seeks to achieve two goals: first, to raise critical funds for ovarian cancer research, and second, to set a new drive thru record by serving over 1,000 vehicles with Quarter Pounder Meal Deals in a one hour period. The local McDonald’s restaurant, at 693 Main Street, Torrington, CT, plans to exceed the goal by getting 2,000 motorcycle participants driving through. Owner operators Susan Behan and Scott Taylor are looking forward to the event and the opportunity to give back to the local community. Dedicated to numerous fundraising causes, the pair is proud to be associated with the Teal at the Wheel program and Ovations for the Cure.
To help set the drive thru record, Ovations will be selling advance tickets to the Teal at the Wheel Drive Thru Challenge at the Super Sunday Motorcycle Reunion, being held this Saturday and Sunday, May 19th and 20th, at the Connecticut Expo Center, in Hartford, CT.
Jenn Perry, Business Consultant for McDonald’s USA, said, “We are extremely excited to be partnering with such a dedicated organization for such a great cause.” Continued Perry, “we have an opportunity to break a world record and raise money to help save the lives of our sisters, mothers and friends. McDonald’s is proud to be a partner in this effort.”
