Forgo the colorful Father’s Day tie, treat dad to a Frosty and help a wonderful group of children in the process.

That’s what Wendy’s second annual Father’s Day Frosty Weekend is all about – giving people another way to support the cause of foster care adoption and help the more than 129,000 U.S. children who are waiting for the love of forever families.

During Father’s Day Weekend, June 14 and 15, Wendy’s will donate 50 cents from the sale of every Frosty product, including new Frosty Shakes, at participating restaurants, to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

The goal is to raise more than $1.3 million to support the work of the non-profit Foundation and its signature program: Wendy’s Wonderful Kids (WWK). This program is filling a critical need by funding and supporting full-time adoption recruiters at local agencies throughout the U.S., the District of Columbia and Canada to march parents with waiting foster care children.

Since 2004, WWK has grown from seven adoption recruiters to 109 across the U.S. and two provinces in Canada.

“The Wendy’s system is very proud to be involved with this special event that helps support our Founder’s most passionate cause – finding a permanent and loving home for every child,” said Wendy’s Chief Executive Officer and President Kerrii Anderson, who serves on the board of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

Thirty-five years ago, I sat in a car and wept after my friend Tom Phillips read me a chapter from C. S. Lewis’s MERE CHRISTIANITY. If you have read my book BORN AGAIN, you know the story. Lewis’s incisive words about the “spiritual cancer” of pride forced me to evaluate my own life in a way that left me shaken and humbled. That night — alone in my car and sobbing — I prayed the first real prayer of my life.

You must understand that God’s passing grade is 100 percent. If He is less than perfect or accepts less than perfection, the absolutes are gone! That’s what an absolute means; it’s a 100 percent affair. And so God says to the man without the Bible, “Have you kept 100 percent of the moral judgments with which you bound others?” And to the man with the Bible, “Have you kept 100 percent of the standards of Scripture?” The answer is no.
