Laurie Lacer, the manager at a thriving Wendy's
location on 2nd street in Manchester, NH, is this year's recipient
of the Dave Thomas Memorial Award at the 25th annual JW Ski
Race for Wednesday's Child. Her store was the top seller of
one dollar coupons to benefit Wednesday's Child. The six week
campaign raised $285,000 among the 120 Wendy's stories in NH
and Massachusetts. Each coupon book had 10-dollars in coupons
for Junior Frosties and a five dollar coupon to be used at Waterville
Valley Ski Area.
Laurie's story is all the more compelling because
she was widowed a few
months ago, leaving her to support and care for her five children.
The Dave Thomas award is named after the founder
of Wendy's, who was a major
supporter of Jack Williams Wednesday's Child program. Dave and
Jack were
both honored at the same time by President Bill Clinton at the
White House
in 1998.
