July 3, 2020

(Des Moines, IA) – On July 3rd, Kum & Go and Budweiser are launching their first-ever merchandise collaboration: a limited-edition T-shirt and tank top, available online while supplies last. As part of Budweiser’s partnership with Folds of Honor, all proceeds from the sales will go towards educational scholarships to families of fallen and disabled soldiers.

Since 2007, the Folds of Honor has carried forth its singular mission: to provide educational scholarships to spouses and children to America’s fallen and disable service-members. Kum & Go is a retail convenience chain, now in its 60th year, guided by a philanthropic mission which gives 10% of its profits to the communities they serve. Kum & Go is proud to partner with Budweiser, a company that has raised $14 million as of this year in support of Folds of Honor.

“This partnership is about celebrating our country, with two iconic American brands creating a fun way to support our veterans,” said Kum & Go President, Tanner Krause. “Proceeds from the collaboration benefit the great Folds of Honor. So if you’re reaching for a cold one on America’s Independence Day: Kum & Go drink a Budweiser.”

The special “Kum & Go Drink a Budweiser” limited-edition t-shirt and tank in its iconic red, white and blue color scheme is part of a bigger summer campaign in partnership with Anheuser-Busch, who – for every case of Budweiser sold at Kum & Go – will donate $1.00 to Folds of Honor. In September, Folds of Honor will provide scholarships to two recipients in honor and appreciation of their service.

About Budweiser

Budweiser, an American-style lager, was introduced in 1876 when company founder Adolphus Busch set out to create the United States’ first truly national beer brand – brewed to be universally popular and transcend regional tastes. Each batch of Budweiser stays true to the same family recipe used by five generations of Busch family brewmasters. Budweiser is a medium-bodied, flavorful, crisp and pure beer with blended layers of premium American and European hop aromas, brewed for the perfect balance of flavor and refreshment. Budweiser is made using time-honored methods including “kraeusening” for natural carbonation and Beechwood aging, which results in unparalleled balance and character.
