The foundation is the Arby's Foundation. It selected the national Big Brothers Big Sisters of America as its chief charity.

As a result of this work and donations from 2,500 stores, the foundation has contributed over $25 million to Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Famous quotes containing the word foundation:
“The Bermudas are said to have been discovered by a Spanish ship of that name which was wrecked on them.... Yet at the very first planting of them with some sixty persons, in 1612, the first governor, the same year, “built and laid the foundation of eight or nine forts.” To be ready, one would say, to entertain the first ship’s company that should be next shipwrecked on to them.”

“What is the foundation of that interest all men feel in Greek history, letters, art and poetry, in all its periods from the Heroic and Homeric age down to the domestic life of the Athenians and Spartans, four or five centuries later?

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
