KFC Raises $6,000 For Duke Of Edinburgh Award
KFC Bermuda announced that The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, Bermuda was the beneficiary of $6,000 raised through its annual Halloween Voucher Promotion, marking another successful year of the community fundraising initiative.
A spokesperson said, “Throughout October, KFC offered Halloween treat vouchers as an alternative to traditional candy, inviting customers to purchase booklets of five vouchers for just $3. Each voucher allows a child aged 12 or under to redeem it at KFC for an apple turnover, an order of French fries or a chocolate chip cookie. The promotion provides families with a fun, affordable way to celebrate Halloween while supporting a worthwhile local cause. All vouchers are valid until January 31, 2027.
