GRAND RAPIDS, MI— Meritage Hospitality Group’s Wendy’s of Michigan completed their Change a Child’s Life campaign, raising $130,000 for Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital and other local children’s charities. The campaign took place from November 13 to December 31 in 50 west and northern Michigan locations.

“This has been our most successful campaign to date,” said Mike Baldwin, North Director of Operations for Meritage Hospitality Group. “Our managers and teammates are the driving force behind this philanthropic cause and each team’s hard work to assure awareness is what makes this program so successful each year. The generosity of over one hundred thousand local community members and guests is not overlooked either. By selecting to round up their orders and purchase in-store pin-ups at our restaurants, they are also to thank for this program’s success.”
