Menchie's Raises $234,307 For Muscular Dystrophy Association

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt announced it has raised $234,307 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.  The funds were raised by Menchie's guests during a month-long program to benefit children and adults affected by neuromuscular disease.

From August 1 through September 3, Menchie's guests throughout the country were asked to "Mix it up for MDA" by purchasing and signing a $1 Make a Muscle, Make a Difference mobile while buying frozen yogurt at any of Menchie's 200 nationwide locations, including the shop at Center Point Place.

A special coupon for 15 percent off the next visit to Menchie's was included in the promotion as a thank you for each mobile purchased. Local families served by MDA will benefit from every frozen yogurt mix and mobile sold.

"The outpouring of support from Menchie's guests and franchisees across all our stores has been tremendous, and we're so grateful we were able to raise $234,307 to help 'spread smiles' to those served by MDA," said Amit Kleinberger, CEO of Menchie's Global Headquarters.  "We're thrilled to make this donation to support MDA and those affected by muscle disease, as we pride ourselves on giving back to local communities around the globe."

Funds raised support MDA's programs of research and health care services, including MDA summer camp.

"Menchie's and their guests went above and beyond this past month to make their first nationwide campaign for MDA an amazing success," said Kevin Moran, MDA executive vice president of business development.  "Menchie's 'Make a Muscle' mobile program helped raise funds in a powerful and meaningful way.  No doubt Menchie's franchisees, team members and loyal guests care about their communities and helping families fighting muscle disease."
