After the kickoff in Lexington, the Fazoli’s Breadstick Tour will head to Dayton.The tour will then go to Indianapolis, Evansville, Paducah, Kansas City, St. Louis, Colorado Springs, Denver, Lincoln, Omaha, Des Moines, Madison, and Green Bay. It will finish up in South Bend on August 14.
Tony Sellars, Feed The Children’s Director of Communications, is excited about the tour.
“In the summer, people don’t think about childhood hunger,” says Sellars.”But, this is the time when the need is the greatest because school is out and school lunches are not available.The Fazoli’s Breadstick Tour will raise awareness that the need is great.”
