Rapid Robert’s Honored with National Retail Leadership Award from Wings for Life
Springfield, MO – (Tuesday, February 4, 2025)
Rapid Robert’s is proud to announce that it has been awarded the 2024 Wings for Life National Retail Leadership Award, recognizing their dedication, employee engagement and creative point-of-sale displays. From September to October Rapid Roberts raised an impressive $19,000 across 34 stores, including a generous $3,000 match from the Heart of America Beverage Company.
Since joining the campaign in 2020, Rapid Robert’s has contributed over $60,000 to Wings for Life USA. The Wings for Life Retail Campaign engages customers at the point of purchase to raise funds for spinal cord research and spread awareness about the incredible mission of Wings for Life USA. Customers can then write their name on the cut-out to show their support. It’s a simple yet powerful way to make a difference with every checkout.
“We look forward to the Wings for Life Retail Campaign each year, knowing that 100% of the funds raised directly support groundbreaking spinal cord research.”
Todd Wilson - COO of Rapid Robert’s
