Local Hardee’s franchisee, Ponder Enterprises Inc., has partnered with Lighthouse Family Retreat in a fund-raiser to support their mission to serve families living through childhood cancer by helping them to laugh, restore family relationships and find hope in God. Lighthouse Family Retreat does this each year by hosting more than 130 families at a free week-long beach retreat.

“We are very excited about our partnership with Lighthouse. They are a great organization working hard to serve these hurting families. We have raised over $5,000 since the fund-raiser began in mid-August. Our goal is to reach $10,000. I hope that our patrons will join us and support Lighthouse as they continue their wonderful ministry,” said Ponder Enterprises Director of Marketing, Elizabeth Faulk.

For a single dollar donation at any local participating Hardee’s, customers will sign a Lighthouse to hang in the restaurant, receive more than $10 in coupons and be entered to win various college football tickets.

“Lighthouse is incredibly exited to be partnering with Ponder Enterprises and the nationally known brand of Hardee’s. We know this invaluable partnership will lead to many more families learning about Lighthouse and enable more hurting families to be served,” said Lighthouse Family Retreat President, Powell Grisham.
