Retail partner spotlight

Carrols Corporation and its BURGER KING® restaurants have been longtime partners of the Upstate Foundation in support of Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital, and is one of our first partners to join our prestigious Million Dollar Society (with over $1 million in donations). Carrols runs two campaigns annually – the popular Valentine coupon campaign in January and February, and the Children’s Miracle Network balloon campaign during the summer. The Upstate Foundation is deeply appreciative of Carrols for its ongoing dedication and support.
